NAME
       tdb_store - store a record in a tdb database.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tdb.h>

       TDB_DATA tdb_store(TDB_CONTEXT *tdb, TDB_DATA key, TDB_DATA record, int flag);


DESCRIPTION
       Store  a  lump  of  data  pointed  to by record in the tdb
       database under the index pointed to by key.  The  TDB_DATA
       structure used by both key and record is defined as:

	      typedef struct {
		   char *dptr;
		   size_t dsize;
	      } TDB_DATA;

       The flag determines the way that tdb_store behaves and can
       be any one of the following values.

       TDB_REPLACE
	      Insert a record creating a new one  or  overwriting
	      an existing one.

       TDB_INSERT
	      Insert  a  new  entry  but  refuse  to overwrite an
	      existing entry.

       TDB_MODIFY
	      Replace an existing record with  a  new  one.  This
	      will fail if, a record does not already exist.


RETURN VALUE
       A  return  value  of  0 indicates success and -1 indicates
       failure.
