  creates a new database regardless if one exists, `BDBOTSYNC', which means
  every transaction synchronizes updated contents with the device. Both of
  `BDBOREADER' and `BDBOWRITER' can be added to by bitwise-or: `BDBONOLCK',

  database file with data fragmentation by successive updating.
 
The function `tcbdbvanish' is used in order to remove all records
    of a B+ tree database object.
bool tcbdbvanish(TCBDB *bdb);
`bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object
  connected as a writer.

  false.
The database is locked by the thread while the
  transaction so that only one transaction can be activated with a database
  object at the same time. Thus, the serializable isolation level is assumed if
  every database operation is performed in the transaction. Because all pages
  are cached on memory while the transaction, the amount of referred records is
  limited by the memory capacity. If the database is closed during transaction,
  the transaction is aborted implicitly.

The function `tcbdbcurkey' is used in order to get the key of the
    record where the cursor object is.
char *tcbdbcurkey(BDBCUR *cur, int *sp);
`cur' specifies the cursor object.
`sp' specifies the pointer to the variable into
  which the size of the region of the return value is assigned.
If successful, the return value is the pointer to the
  region of the key, else, it is `NULL'. `NULL' is returned when the cursor is
  at invalid position.
Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of
  the region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a character
  string. Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc'
  call, it should be released with the `free' call when it is no longer in
  use.

    of the record where the cursor object is.

  at invalid position.
Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of
  the region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a character
  string. Because the region of the return value is volatile and it may be
  spoiled by another operation of the database, the data should be copied into
  another involatile buffer immediately.

Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of
  the region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a character
  string. Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc'

  region of the value, else, it is `NULL'. `NULL' is returned when the cursor is
  at invalid position.
Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of
  the region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a character
  string. Because the region of the return value is volatile and it may be
  spoiled by another operation of the database, the data should be copied into
  another involatile buffer immediately.
