Member Data Documentation

const void* WT_ITEM::data

The memory reference of the data item.

For items returned by a WT_CURSOR, the pointer is only valid until the next operation on that cursor. Applications that need to keep an item across multiple cursor operations must make a copy.

Examples:

ex_all.c, and ex_extending.c.
