NAME

       PX_create_fp — create a new Paradox file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

       int PX_create_fp(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, pxfield_t *fields, int numfields, FILE *fp, int type)

DESCRIPTION

       Creates  a new Paradox document in an already open file with the given field specification. pxdoc must be
       created before with PX_new(3) or PX_new2(3).  The file must  be  opened  in  read/write  mode  (w+)  with
       fopen(3).  fields  is  an  array of numfields field specifications to set the schema of the database. The
       memory for the field specifications and field names must be allocated by the caller and may not be freed,
       since the memory is freed when the document is deleted. Make sure  to  use  the  same  memory  allocation
       function  as  passed to PX_new(3). The memory for the field names is usually allocated with PX_strdup(3).
       The field name can be left empty if a primary index file is to be created. The type of the  file  can  be
       set  in the last parameter. Currently only database (pxfFileTypIndexDB, pxfFileTypNonIndexDB) and primary
       index (pxfFileTypPrimIndex) files are supported.

       After creating the paradox database you may want to call PX_set_tablename(3) in order to  set  the  table
       name as it is stored in the header of the database.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.
