cdb_init - open a constant database

#include <libowfat/cdb.h>

int cdb_init(struct cdb *c,int fd);

cdb_init places information about fd into a struct cdb variable c. fd has to be a seekable file previously opened for reading.

On systems that support mmap, cdb_init will try to map the whole constant database into memory.

The inverse operation to cdb_init is cdb_free.
