if I want to read a set of records with a certain key, do I need
to call _rlocate() followed by _rreadK() in a loop or can I use
_rreadn()?

Note: I'll be dealing with a partial key...


I am not aware of any requirement for using locate. For keyed processing I recall using just _rreadk() "Read a Record by Key" primed with opt=__KEY_EQ then looping with opt=__KEY_NEXTEQ to read another row with the same key value as the one found with __KEY_EQ. Refer to the "positioning macros" which are defined in recio.h to see what\how to navigate using those /opts/ [processing options]. The specified key length enables the partial key, but the key feedback\return value always includes the full key value; for the length defined for the file that was opened.

Note there is a C programming list here too.
