The m4_refT(log_file) maps

to filenames, returning the name of the file containing the record named
by m4_arg(lsn).])
m4_p([dnl
This mapping of
ifelse(M4API, C_API, [DB_LSN structures], [m4_ref(DbLsn) objects])
to files is needed for database administration. For example, a
transaction manager typically records the earliest m4_ref(DbLsn) needed
for restart, and the database administrator may want to archive log
files to tape when they contain only m4_ref(DbLsn) entries before the
earliest one needed for restart.])

m4_param(lsn, [dnl
The m4_arg(lsn) parameter is the

for which a filename is wanted.])
m4_param_co(namep, name of the file containing the record named by m4_arg(lsn))
m4_param(len, [dnl
The m4_arg(len) parameter is the length of the m4_arg(namep) buffer in
bytes. If m4_arg(namep) is too short to hold the filename,
m4_ref(log_file) will fail. (Log filenames are normally quite short,
on the order of 10 characters.)])
