Truxton delete event type

This deletes an event type.

Syntax

void truxton_delete_event_type( uint64_t truxton_handle, uint64_t event_type_id );

Parameters

truxton_handle

The Truxton instance where this event type exists. This handle comes from calling truxton_create().

event_type_id

The integer value of the event type.

Remarks

This will delete the event type from the [EventType] table in the database.

Sample

void create_event_type( void )
{
   uint64_t truxton = truxton_create();

   uint64_t event_type = truxton_event_type_create( truxton );

   truxton_event_type_set_id( event_type, 21212 );
   truxton_event_type_set_name( event_type, "FBI Action" );

   if ( truxton_event_type_save( event_type ) == 0 )
   {
      printf("Cannot save event type to the database.\n" );
   }
   else
   {
      char type_name[ 128 ];

      uint64_t new_id = truxton_event_type_get_id( event_type );

      truxton_event_type_get_name( event_type, type_name, sizeof( type_name ) ); 
      printf( "Created %s event type as id %" PRIu64 "\n", type_name, new_id );
   }

   truxton_event_type_destroy( event_type );

   truxton_delete_event_type( truxton, 21212 );
   truxton_destroy( truxton );
}

The PRIu64 in the sample code above is a standard way of formatting a 64-bit unsigned integer in C. Over the years, different compilers on different operating systems used different format specifiers for things, these PRI macros, along with some tricky string concatenation the compilers perform for you, allow you to maintain a single code base without a bunch of macro magic.
