LL2_GET_JOURNAL_MODE(3) Programmers Manual LL2_GET_JOURNAL_MODE(3)
ll2_get_journal_mode - get current SQLite journal mode for
lastlog2 database
#include <lastlog2.h>
int ll2_get_journal_mode(struct ll2_context *context, char mode,
char error);
The ll2_get_journal_mode() function retrieves the current SQLite
journal mode for the lastlog2 database associated with context.
If context is NULL, the default database, defined in
LL2_DEFAULT_DATABASE, will be taken.
The returned journal mode string is in uppercase (e.g., "WAL",
"DELETE") for consistency with user input.
Common journal modes include:
• WAL - Write-Ahead Logging mode
• DELETE - Default mode
• TRUNCATE - Truncate mode
• PERSIST - Persist mode
• MEMORY - Memory mode
• OFF - Journaling disabled
struct ll2_context *ctx;
char *mode = NULL;
char *error = NULL;
ctx = ll2_new_context(NULL);
if (!ctx) {
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to create context\n");
return 1;
}
if (ll2_get_journal_mode(ctx, &mode, &error) != 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to get journal mode: %s\n", error);
free(error);
ll2_unref_context(ctx);
return 1;
}
printf("Current journal mode: %s\n", mode);
free(mode);
ll2_unref_context(ctx);
Returns 0 on success, -ENOMEM or -1 on other failure. error
contains an error string if the return value is -1. error is not
guaranteed to contain an error string, could also be NULL. error
should be freed by the caller. If successful, mode will be set to
a newly allocated string containing the current journal mode. The
caller must free this string.
