■

oid

— The objectid for this object, equivalent to the system.object_id field.

■

digest_algo

— Always set to

"sha1" for this release. Equivalent to the

system.object_hash_alg

field.

■

data_digest

— An array of bytes that represent the content digest of this object's data.

Equivalent to the system.object_hash field.

■

size

— The size of the data in this object, in bytes. Equivalent to the system.object_size

field.

■

creation_time

— The object creation time, expressed as number of milliseconds since the

epoch. Equivalent to the system.object_ctime field.

■

deleted_time

— The deletion time of this record, if any, as the number of milliseconds since

the epoch.

■

shredMode

— Not used in this release.

■

is_indexed

— indicates, after a store_data or store_metadata operation, whether the

metadata for the object was successfully inserted into the query engine, and the object is
hence available for query. 0 if false, 1 if true.

Failure and Recovery

Every function in the 5800 system C client library returns a result code of type hcerr_t. Any
value other than HCERR_OK indicates a nonrecoverable error. See the hc.h file for specific error
codes.

C Client Application Deployment

C applications using the 5800 system C API use both the 5800 system libraries and the curl
libraries. These libraries are different for each supported platform (Windows, Linux, Solaris
(x86), Solaris (SPARC)) and are located in the c/<OS>/lib directory in the SDK.

Note –

The environment variable http_proxy should not be set for processes using the C API,

since the HTTP client library ( curl) makes use of it.

Nonblocking C API

The nonblocking C API is not implemented for this release of the 5800 system. If you are
interested in working with the nonblocking C API, contact your 5800 system Sales
Representative.
