Summary

Function: key llKeysKeyValue( integer first, integer count );

Start an asynchronous transaction to request a number of keys.
Returns a handle (a key) that can be used to identify the corresponding dataserver event to determine if this command succeeded or failed.

• integer first Zero-based index of the first key to retrieve
• integer count Number of keys to retriever

This function will attempt to retrieve the number of keys requested but may return less if there are not enough to fulfill the full amount requested or if the list is too large. The order keys are returned is not guaranteed but is stable between subsequent calls as long as no keys are added or removed.
The error XP_ERROR_KEY_NOT_FOUND is returned if there index given is greater than or equal to the number of keys.

Specification

Dataserver

The dataserver callback parameters are:

String Components
• integer success A boolean specifying if the transaction succeeded (1) or not (0).
• integer error An XP_ERROR_* flag that describes why the operation failed.
• list keys A list of keys (strings) used in the key-value store

Examples

<lsl>key trans; default {

   state_entry()
   {
       // retrieve the first 10 keys
       trans = llKeysKeyValue(0, 10);
   }

}

dataserver(key t, string value) {

   if (t == trans)
   {
       // our llKeyCountKeyValue transaction is done
       list result = llCSV2List(value);
       if (llList2Integer(result, 0) == 1)
       {
           llSay(0, "Keys retrieved: "+llGetSubString(value, -1);
       }
       else if (llList2String(result, 1) == "key doesn't exist")
       {
           // no more keys
           llSay(0, "No more keys" );
       }
       else
       {
           // keys request failed
           llSay(0, "Key-value failed to request keys: " + llList2String(result, 1) );
       }
   } 
}</lsl>
