49 argument to uniquely identify the connection. The
51 argument is then used in other function calls to identify the connection to be used
52 for communication with the CONFDB service.
54 Every time the configuration database is updated, the callback is called.
55 The callback function is described by the following type definitions:
64 typedef void (*confdb_change_notify_fn_t) (
65 confdb_handle_t handle,
66 unsigned int parent_object_handle,
67 unsigned int object_handle,

103 This call returns the CONFDB_OK value if successful, otherwise an error is returned.
106 Callbacks are not support at the moment.
109 The errors are undocumented.
