Global keyGetATime (const Key *key)

This API is obsolete.

Global keyGetCTime (const Key *key)

This API is obsolete.

Global keyGetGID (const Key *key)

This API is obsolete.

Global keyGetMode (const Key *key)

This API is obsolete.

Global keyGetMTime (const Key *key)

Global keyNeedSync (const Key *key)

The handling of synchronization is done internally and does not need to be checked by neither application nor plugins.

Global keyNew (const char *name,...)

These other flags deprecated and KEY_META should be preferred. They remain some time, however, for compatibility:

• KEY_DIR
  Define that the key is a directory rather than a ordinary key. This means its executable bits in its mode are set. But even without this option the key can have subkeys. See keySetDir().
• KEY_OWNER
  Next parameter is the owner. See keySetOwner().
• KEY_UID, KEY_GID
  Next parameter is taken as the UID (uid_t) or GID (gid_t) that will be defined on the key. See keySetUID() and keySetGID().
• KEY_MODE
  Next parameter is taken as mode permissions (int) to the key. See keySetMode().

  Key *k=keyNew("user/tmp/ex3",
          KEY_VALUE, "some data",    // with a simple value
          KEY_MODE, 0777,            // permissions
          KEY_END);                  // end of args

• KEY_COMMENT
  Next parameter is a comment. See keySetComment().
  Global keySetATime (Key *key, time_t atime) This API is obsolete.

Global keySetCTime (Key *key, time_t ctime)

This API is obsolete.

Global keySetDir (Key *key)

This API is obsolete.

Global keySetGID (Key *key, gid_t gid)

This API is obsolete.

Global keySetMode (Key *key, mode_t mode)

This API is obsolete. It is only a mapping to keySetMeta(key, "mode", str) which should be prefered.

Global keySetMTime (Key *key, time_t mtime)

This API is obsolete.

Global keySetUID (Key *key, uid_t uid)

This API is obsolete.

Global ksNeedSync (const KeySet *ks)

Backends now work differently and do not rely on this information.
