.sp
struct loc_database;
.sp
int loc_database_new(struct loc_ctx* ctx, struct loc_database** database, FILE* f);
.sp
Reference Counting:
.sp
struct loc_database* loc_database_ref(struct loc_database* db);
.sp
struct loc_database* loc_database_unref(struct loc_database* db);

Access some data:
.sp
time_t loc_database_created_at(struct loc_database* db);
.sp
const char* loc_database_get_vendor(struct loc_database* db);
.sp
const char* loc_database_get_description(struct loc_database* db);
.sp
const char* loc_database_get_license(struct loc_database* db);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
loc_database_new() opens a new database from the given file descriptor\&. The file descriptor can be closed after this operation because the function is creating its own copy\&.
.sp
If the database could be opened successfully, zero is returned\&. Otherwise a non\-zero return code will indicate an error and errno will be set appropriately\&.
.sp
Various meta\-data about the database can be retrieved with loc_database_created_at(), loc_database_get_vendor(), loc_database_get_description(), and loc_database_get_license()\&.
