getwfdb

char *getwfdb(void)

Return:

(char *)

pointer to the database path string

This function returns the current database path. For example, this code fragment

... char *oldp, *newp; oldp = getwfdb(); if (newp = malloc(strlen("/usr/mydb;") + strlen(oldp) + 1)) { sprintf(newp, "/usr/mydb;%s", oldp); setwfdb(newp); } ...

adds the directory `/usr/mydb' to the beginning of the database path. (The standard `/' directory separator can be used, even under MS-DOS; if you elect to use the alternate `\', remember to quote it within a C string as `\\'.)
