Updating databases
If you have loaded your databases into libhomeradar, the library will check every 10 minutes for updates textfiles. If the timestamp will change, libhomeradar will reload all database files.
You can disable this feature by setting the LHR_NO_DBCHECK flag during initialization or with the homeradar_config() command.
NOTE: Removed entries from databases files will not be removed from memory during database updates.
To load updated databases it's not required to unload the databases from memory. libhomeradar will only add/update changed entries to the indexed binary tree.
Unload databases from memory
You can unload all databases from memory if you want. Simply call the homeradar_unload_databases(LHR H) function. These function has only one parameter.
On success this function returns TRUE. If the databases could not be removed, the function returns FALSE.
A call to the homeradar_unload_databases() function will delete any items from the pending queue.
