<b>Description: DB_MPOOLFILE->set_fileid</b>
|
|
<p>The DB_MPOOLFILE->set_fileid method specifies a unique identifier for the file.
|
|
(The shared memory buffer pool functions must be able to uniquely
|
|
identify files in order that multiple processes wanting to share a file
|
|
will correctly identify it in the pool.)</p>
|
|
<p>On most UNIX/POSIX systems, the <b>fileid</b> field will not need to
|
|
be set, and the memory pool functions will use the file's device and
|
|
inode numbers for this purpose. On Windows systems, the memory pool
|
|
functions use the values returned by GetFileInformationByHandle() by
|
|
default -- these values are known to be constant between processes and
|
|
over reboot in the case of NTFS (in which they are the NTFS MFT
|
|
indices).</p>
|
|
<p>On other filesystems (for example, FAT or NFS), these default values
|
|
are not necessarily unique between processes or across system reboots.
|
|
<b>Applications wanting to maintain a shared memory buffer pool
|
|
between processes or across system reboots, in which the pool contains
|
|
pages from files stored on such filesystems, must specify a unique file
|
|
identifier using the DB_MPOOLFILE->set_fileid method, and each process opening
|
|
the file must provide the same unique identifier.</b></p>
|
|
<p>This call should not be necessary for most applications. Specifically,
|
|
it is not necessary if the memory pool is not shared between processes
|
|
and is reinstantiated after each system reboot, if the application is
|
|
using the Berkeley DB access methods instead of calling the pool functions
|
|
explicitly, or if the files in the memory pool are stored on filesystems
|
|
in which the default values as described previously are invariant
|
|
between process and across system reboots.</p>
|
|
<p>The DB_MPOOLFILE->set_fileid method configures a file in the memory pool, not only
|
|
operations performed using the specified <a href="../api_c/mempfile_class.html">DB_MPOOLFILE</a> handle.</p>
|
|
<p>The DB_MPOOLFILE->set_fileid method may not be called after the <a href="../api_c/memp_fopen.html">DB_MPOOLFILE->open</a> method is
|
|
called.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The DB_MPOOLFILE->set_fileid method
|
|
returns a non-zero error value on failure
|
|
and 0 on success.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
|
|
<b>fileid</b><ul compact><li>The <b>fileid</b> parameter is the unique identifier for the file.
|
|
Unique file identifiers must be a DB_FILE_ID_LEN length array of bytes.</ul>

|
|
<b>Description: DB_MPOOLFILE->get_fileid</b>
|
|
<p>The DB_MPOOLFILE->get_fileid method copies the file's identifier into the
|
|
memory location referenced by <b>fileid</b>.</p>
|
|
<p>The DB_MPOOLFILE->get_fileid method
|
|
returns a non-zero error value on failure
|
|
and 0 on success.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The DB_MPOOLFILE->get_fileid method may be called at any time during the life of the
|
|
application.</p>
