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 `\\'.)
