PX_create_fp create a new Paradox file
#include <paradox.h>
int PX_create_fp(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, pxfield_t *fields, int numfields, FILE *fp, int type)
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.
Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.
