NAME
       cdb_read - read bytes from a constant database

SYNTAX
       #include <cdb.h>
       #include <uint32.h>

       int cdb_read(struct cdb *c,char *buf,unsigned long int len,uint32
       position);

DESCRIPTION
       cdb_read reads len bytes starting at position from c to buf.  You can
       use cdb_datapos or cdb_keypos to get position and cdb_datalen and
       cdb_keylen to get len.

       buf needs to point to a memory region large enough to hold len bytes.

RETURN VALUE
       cdb_read returns 0 if everything went well, or -1 on error (setting
       errno appropriately.
