.Ft int
.Fo DlpWriteRecord
.Fa "PConnection *pconn"
.Fa "const ubyte handle"

.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
writes a record to a database on a Palm. The database must already be
open for writing.
.Pp
.Fa handle
is a database handle, as returned by
.Xr DlpOpenDB 3 .
.Pp
.Fa flags
specifies flags. There are no useful flags. Set this argument to 0.
.Pp
.Fa id
specifies the record's ID.
.Pp
.Fa attributes
specifies the record's attributes. See the
.Dv DLPCMD_DBFLAG_*
flags in
.Pa <pconn/dlp_cmd.h> .
.Pp
.Fa category
specifies the record's category (but see the
.Sx BUGS
section).
.Pp
.Fa len
specifies the length of
.Fa data .
.Pp
.Fa data
points to the record data.
.Pp
.Fa recid
is filled in with the record ID on the Palm. The Palm may assign the
record an ID other than that given by
.Fa id .
.Sh RETURN VALUE
.Nm
returns 0 if successful, or a negative value otherwise.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr libpconn 3 ,
.Xr DlpOpenDB 3 ,
.Xr DlpWriteResource 3 .
.Sh BUGS
The
.Fa category
argument might refer to the 8-bit category identifier, or it might
refer to the 4-bit index of the category identifier in the AppInfo
block. I think it's the latter.
