The <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> memory pool methods and the DB_MPOOLFILE class provide general-purpose, page-oriented buffer management of files. Although designed to work with the other <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> classes, they are also useful for more general purposes. The memory pools are referred to in this document as simply <i>pools</i>.</p> <p>Pools may be shared between processes. Pools are usually filled by pages from one or more files. Pages in the pool are replaced in LRU (least-recently-used) order, with each new page replacing the page that has been unused the longest. Pages retrieved from the pool using <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_c/memp_fget.html">DB_MPOOLFILE->get</a> are <i>pinned</i> in the pool until they are returned to the control of the buffer pool using the <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_c/memp_fput.html">DB_MPOOLFILE->put</a> method.</p> <p>The DB_MPOOLFILE object is the handle for a file in the memory pool. The handle is not free-threaded. Once the <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_c/memp_fclose.html">DB_MPOOLFILE->close</a> method is called, the handle may not be accessed again, regardless of that method's return.</p> <hr size=1 noshade> <h3>Class</h3> <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a>, DB_MPOOLFILE <h3>See Also</h3> <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_c/memp_list.html">Memory Pools and Related Methods</a> </tt> <table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right> <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_c/api_core.html"><img src="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/images/api.gif" alt="API"></a><a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/ref/toc.html"><img src="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a> </td></tr></table> <p><font size=1>Copyright (c) 1996,2007 Oracle.
