NAME

       mdatabase_load -

SYNOPSIS

       void* mdatabase_load (MDatabase * mdb)

DESCRIPTION

       Load a data from the database. The mdatabase_load() function loads a data specified in mdb and returns
       the contents. The type of contents depends on the type of the data.

       If the data is of the plist type, this function returns a pointer to plist.

       If the database is of the chartable type, it returns a chartable. The default value of the chartable is
       set according to the second tag of the data as below:

       • If the tag is Msymbol, the default value is Mnil.
       • If the tag is Minteger, the default value is -1.
       • Otherwise, the default value is NULL.
       If  the  data is of the charset type, it returns a plist of length 2 (keys are both Mt). The value of the
       first element is an array of integers that maps code points to the  corresponding  character  codes.  The
       value of the second element is a chartable of integers that does the reverse mapping. The charset must be
       defined in advance.
