The deadlock detector traverses the lock table and marks one of the participating lock requesters for rejection in each deadlock it finds. <p>The <b>flags</b> parameter is currently unused, and must be set to 0. <p>The <b>atype</b> parameter specifies which lock request(s) to reject. It must be set to one following list: <p><dl compact> <p><dt><a name="DB_LOCK_DEFAULT">DB_LOCK_DEFAULT</a><dd>Use whatever lock policy was specified when the database environment was created. If no lock policy has yet been specified, set the lock policy to DB_LOCK_RANDOM. <dt><a name="DB_LOCK_EXPIRE">DB_LOCK_EXPIRE</a><dd>Reject lock requests which have timed out.

See the <a href="../../db4-4.1.25/utility/db_deadlock.html">db_deadlock</a> utility source code for an example of using DB_ENV->lock_detect in a IEEE/ANSI Std 1003.1 (POSIX) environment. <p>The DB_ENV->lock_detect method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. <h1>Errors</h1> <p>The DB_ENV->lock_detect method may fail and return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system functions. If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DB_ENV->lock_detect method may fail and return <a href="../../db4-devel-4.1.25/ref/program/errorret.html#DB_RUNRECOVERY">DB_RUNRECOVERY</a>, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way. <h1>Class</h1> <a href="../../db4-devel-4.1.25/api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a>, <a href="../../db4-devel-4.1.25/api_c/lock_class.html">DB_LOCK</a> <h1>See Also</h1> <a href="../../db4-devel-4.1.25/api_c/lock_list.html">Locking Subsystem and Related Methods</a> </tt> <table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right> <a href="../../db4-devel-4.1.25/api_c/c_index.html"><img src="../../db4-4.1.25/images/api.gif" alt="API"></a><a href="../reftoc.html"><img src="../../db4-4.1.25/images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a> </td></tr></table> <p><font size=1><a href="http://www.sleepycat.com">Copyright Sleepycat Software</a></font> </body> </html>
