Methods off the DB_ENV handle are used to configure the environment as well as to operate on subsystems and databases in the environment.</p> <p>DB_ENV handles are free-threaded if the <a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/api_c/env_open.html#DB_THREAD">DB_THREAD</a> flag is specified to the <a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a> method when the environment is opened. The DB_ENV handle should not be closed while any other handle remains open that is using it as a reference (for example, <a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> or <a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/api_c/txn_class.html">DB_TXN</a>).

A pointer to this structure is returned in the memory to which <b>dbenvp</b> refers. Calling the <a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/api_c/env_close.html">DB_ENV->close</a> or <a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/api_c/env_remove.html">DB_ENV->remove</a> methods will discard the returned handle.</p> <p>The DB_ENV handle contains a special field, "app_private", which is declared as type "void *". This field is provided for the use of the application program. It is initialized to NULL and is not further used by Berkeley DB in any way.</p> <p>The db_env_create method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. </p> The <b>flags</b> parameter must be set to 0 or the following value: <p><dl compact> <p><dt><a name="DB_RPCCLIENT">DB_RPCCLIENT</a><dd>Create a client environment to connect to a server. <p>The DB_RPCCLIENT flag indicates to the system that this environment is remote on a server. The use of this flag causes the environment methods to use functions that call a server instead of local functions. Prior to making any environment or database method calls, the application must call the <a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/api_c/env_set_rpc_server.html">DB_ENV->set_rpc_server</a> function to establish the connection to the server.</p> </dl> <h3>Errors</h3> <hr size=1 noshade> <h3>Class</h3> DB_ENV <h3>See Also</h3> <a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/api_c/env_list.html">Database Environments and Related Methods</a> </tt> <table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right> <a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/api_c/api_index.html"><img src="../../db42-4.2.52/images/api.gif" alt="API"></a><a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/ref/toc.html"><img src="../../db42-4.2.52/images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a> </td></tr></table> <p><font size=1><a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/sleepycat/legal.html">Copyright (c) 1996-2003</a> <a href="http://www.sleepycat.com">Sleepycat Software, Inc.</a> - All rights reserved.</font> </body> </html>
