<b>Description: DB_ENV->set_errfile</b>
|
|
When an error occurs in the Berkeley DB library, a Berkeley DB error or an error
|
|
return value is returned by the interface. In some cases, however, the
|
|
return value may be insufficient to completely describe the cause of the
|
|
error especially during initial application debugging.
|
|
<p>The DB_ENV->set_errfile and <a href="../api_c/db_set_errfile.html">DB->set_errfile</a> methods are used to
|
|
enhance the mechanism for reporting error messages to the application
|
|
by setting a C library FILE * to be used for displaying additional Berkeley DB
|
|
error messages. In some cases, when an error occurs, Berkeley DB will output
|
|
an additional error message to the specified file reference.</p>
|
|
<p>The error message will consist of the prefix string and a colon
|
|
("<b>:</b>") (if a prefix string was previously specified using
|
|
<a href="../api_c/db_set_errpfx.html">DB->set_errpfx</a> or <a href="../api_c/env_set_errpfx.html">DB_ENV->set_errpfx</a>), an error string, and
|
|
a trailing <newline> character.</p>
|
|
<p>The default configuration when applications first create <a href="../api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> or
|
|
<a href="../api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> handles is as if the DB_ENV->set_errfile or
|
|
<a href="../api_c/db_set_errfile.html">DB->set_errfile</a> methods were called with the standard error output
|
|
(stderr) specified as the FILE * argument. Applications wanting no
|
|
output at all can turn off this default configuration by calling the
|
|
DB_ENV->set_errfile or <a href="../api_c/db_set_errfile.html">DB->set_errfile</a> methods with NULL as the
|
|
FILE * argument. Additionally, explicitly configuring the error output
|
|
channel using any of the DB_ENV->set_errfile,
|
|
<a href="../api_c/db_set_errfile.html">DB->set_errfile</a>, <a href="../api_c/env_set_errcall.html">DB_ENV->set_errcall</a>,
|
|
<a href="../api_c/db_set_errcall.html">DB->set_errcall</a>, <a href="../api_cxx/env_set_error_stream.html">DbEnv::set_error_stream</a> or
|
|
<a href="../api_cxx/db_set_error_stream.html">Db::set_error_stream</a> methods will also turn off this default output
|
|
for the application.</p>
|
|
<p>This error logging enhancement does not slow performance or significantly
|
|
increase application size, and may be run during normal operation as well
|
|
as during application debugging.</p>
|
|
<p>The DB_ENV->set_errfile method configures operations performed using the specified
|
|
<a href="../api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> handle, not all operations performed on the underlying
|
|
database environment.</p>
|
|
<p>The DB_ENV->set_errfile method may be called at any time during the life of the
|
|
application.</p>
|
|
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
|
|
<b>errfile</b><ul compact><li>The <b>errfile</b> parameter is a C library FILE * to be used for
|
|
displaying additional Berkeley DB error information.</ul>

<br>
|
|
<hr size=1 noshade>
|
|
<b>Description: DB_ENV->get_errfile</b>
|
|
<p>The DB_ENV->get_errfile method returns the FILE *.</p>
|
|
<p>The DB_ENV->get_errfile method may be called at any time during the life of the
|
|
application.</p>
|
|
<p>The DB_ENV->get_errfile method
|
|
returns a non-zero error value on failure
|
|
and 0 on success.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
|
|
<b>errfilep</b><ul compact><li>The DB_ENV->get_errfile method returns the
|
|
FILE * in <b>errfilep</b>.</ul>
