- Detailed_Output
None. See $Particulars for a description of the effect of this
routine.
- Parameters
None.
- Particulars
This routine removes information about an EK file from the
EK system, freeing space to increase the number of other EK
files that can be loaded. The file is also unloaded from
the DAS system and closed.
- Examples
1) Load 25 EK files sequentially, unloading the previous file
before each new file is loaded. Unloading files prevents
them from being searched during query execution.
for ( i = 0; i < 25; i++ )
{
eklef_c ( ek[i], &handle );
[Perform queries]
ekuef_c ( handle );
}
- Restrictions
None.
- Exceptions
1) Unloading a file that is not loaded has no effect.
- Files
This routine unloads a binary EK file from the EK query system.
