The smart-large-object interface contains a set of functions and data types to provide access to smart large objects. It enables you to access the data of a smart large object in much the same way as you would access an operating-system file on UNIX, Linux, or Windows. The interface provides the following:
The milo.h header file defines the functions and data type structures of the smart-large-object interface. The mi.h header file automatically includes the milo.h header file. You must include either mi.h or milo.h in any DataBlade API routine that calls a smart-large-object function or declares one of the smart-large-object data type structures.
Sections of this chapter describe how to use the smart-large-object interface to perform the following operations on a smart large object.
