NAME
dlconv - log conversion of logical RMSfile
SYNOPSIS
#include <cbase/dbase.h>
#include <cbase/logfile.h>
dlconv (lname, deffile)
char *lname, *deffile;
DESCRIPTION
Dlconv records a marker in the current log file to change the format of a logical RMSfile. The new file definition is also written to the log file. When the restore program, drestore, encounters this marker, it converts the named logical RMSfile to the new definition.
Lname is the name of the logical RMSfile. It can have any of the following formats:
dbase~lfile
~lfile
lfile
The first form names an explicit database, the latter two use the default database. A default database is defined by calling dbopen(C-3), or setting the environment variable DBASE to a valid database name.
If a path name (a name containing slashes (\ or /)) is passed to dlconv, no entry is made in the log file.
Deffile names an RMS definition file to be copied into the log file.
SEE ALSO
dlclear(C-3), dldelete(C-3), dlexpand(C-3), dlmake(C-3),
convertlf(C-1), drestore(C-1)
DIAGNOSTICS
A value of FAILED (0) is returned if the marker cannot be written in the log file. The RMS error message is set describing the error.

This function is intended for internal use only. Indiscriminate use of this function can render log files useless.
