Function Documentation

◆ wiredtiger_extension_init()

int wiredtiger_extension_init	(	WT_CONNECTION *	connection,
		WT_CONFIG_ARG *	config )

extern

Entry point to an extension, called when the extension is loaded.

Parameters

connection	the connection handle
config	the config information passed to WT_CONNECTION::load_extension

Returns: zero on success and a non-zero error code on failure. See Error handling for details.

Examples: nop_encrypt.c, rotn_encrypt.c, and sodium_encrypt.c.

◆ wiredtiger_extension_terminate()

int wiredtiger_extension_terminate ( WT_CONNECTION * connection )
