It is up to the <b>db_msgcall_fcn</b> function to display the message in an appropriate manner.</p> <p>Setting <b>db_msgcall_fcn</b> to NULL unconfigures the callback interface.</p> <p>Alternatively, you can use the <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_c/db_set_msgfile.html">DB->set_msgfile</a> or <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_c/env_set_msgfile.html">DB_ENV->set_msgfile</a> methods to display the messages via a C library FILE *.</p> <p>For <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> handles opened inside of Berkeley DB environments, calling the DB->set_msgcall method affects the entire environment and is equivalent to calling the DB_ENV->set_msgcall method.</p> <p>The DB->set_msgcall method configures operations performed using the specified <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> handle, not all operations performed on the underlying database.</p> <p>The DB->set_msgcall method may be called at any time during the life of the application.</p> <h3>Parameters</h3> <dl compact> <dt><b>db_msgcall_fcn</b><dd>The <b>db_msgcall_fcn</b> parameter is the application-specified message reporting function. The function takes two parameters: <dl compact> <dt><b>dbenv</b><dd>The <b>dbenv</b> parameter is the enclosing database environment. <dt><b>msg</b><dd>The <b>msg</b> parameter is the message string. </dl> <p>Berkeley DB is not re-entrant.
