<h3>Description: Db::get_type</h3>
<p>The Db::get_type method returns the type of the underlying access
method (and file format).  The type value is one of DB_BTREE,
DB_HASH, DB_RECNO, or DB_QUEUE.  This
value may be used to determine the type of the database after a return
from <a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/api_cxx/db_open.html">Db::open</a> with the <b>type</b> parameter set to
DB_UNKNOWN.</p>
<p>The Db::get_type method may not be called before the <a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/api_cxx/db_open.html">Db::open</a> method has been
called.</p>
<p>The Db::get_type method
either returns a non-zero error value
or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure, and returns 0 on success.
</p>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<p><dl compact>
<p><dt><b>type</b><dd>
The <b>type</b> parameter references memory into which
 the type of the underlying access method is copied.
</dl>
<h3>Errors</h3>
<p>The Db::get_type method
may fail and throw
<a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/api_cxx/except_class.html">DbException</a>,
encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of
the following non-zero errors:</p>
<p><dl compact>
<p><dt>EINVAL<dd>If the method was called before <a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/api_cxx/db_open.html">Db::open</a> was called; or if an
invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
