<p>All commands in the Berkeley DB Tcl interface are in the following form:</p>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting">command_handle operation options</pre>
|
||
<p>The <span class="emphasis"><em>command handle</em></span> is <span class="bold"><strong>berkdb</strong></span> or one of the additional
|
||
commands that may be created. The <span class="emphasis"><em>operation</em></span> is what you want
|
||
to do to that handle, and the <span class="emphasis"><em>options</em></span> apply to the operation.
|
||
Commands that get created on behalf of the application have their own sets
|
||
of operations. Generally, any calls in DB that result in new object
|
||
handles will translate into a new command handle in Tcl. Then, the user
|
||
can access the operations of the handle via the new Tcl command handle.</p>
|
||
<p>Newly created commands are named with an abbreviated form of their
|
||
objects, followed by a number. Some created commands are subcommands of
|
||
other created commands and will be the first command, followed by a
|
||
period (.), and then followed by the new subcommand. For example,
|
||
suppose that you have a database already existing called my_data.db.
|
||
The following example shows the commands created when you open the
|
||
database and when you open a cursor:</p>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting"># First open the database and get a database command handle
|
||
% berkdb open my_data.db
|
||
db0
|
||
#Get some data from that database
|
||
% db0 get my_key
|
||
{{my_key my_data0}{my_key my_data1}}
|
||
#Open a cursor in this database, get a new cursor handle
|
||
% db0 cursor
|
||
db0.c0
|
||
#Get the first data from the cursor
|
||
% db0.c0 get -first
|
||
{{first_key first_data}}</pre>
|
||
<p>All commands in the library support a special option <span class="bold"><strong>-?</strong></span> that will
|
||
list the correct operations for a command or the correct options.</p>
|
||
<p>A list of commands and operations can be found in the
|
||
<a href="../api_reference/TCL/index.html" class="olink">Tcl API</a> documentation.</p>
