Subject: [PATCH v2] lib: add return status to database close and destroy
Date: Sun, 19 Jan 2014 19:20:46 +0200
Message-Id: <1390152046-6509-1-git-send-email-jani@nikula.org>
Precedence: list

notmuch_database_close may fail in Xapian ->flush() or ->close(), so
report the status. Similarly for notmuch_database_destroy which calls
close.

This is required for notmuch insert to report error status if message
indexing failed.
