<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::err()</code>, <code class="methodname">DbEnv::errx,()</code>,
<a class="xref" href="dberr.html" title="Db::err()">Db::err()</a> and
<code class="methodname">Db::errx()</code> methods provide
error-messaging functionality for applications written using the
Berkeley DB library.
</p>
<p>
The <a class="xref" href="dberr.html" title="Db::err()">Db::err()</a> and
<a class="xref" href="enverr.html" title="DbEnv::err()">DbEnv::err()</a>
methods constructs an error message consisting of the
following elements:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>An optional prefix string</strong></span>
</p>
<p>
If no error callback function has been set using the
<a class="xref" href="envset_errcall.html" title="DbEnv::set_errcall()">DbEnv::set_errcall()</a>
method, any prefix string specified using the
<a class="xref" href="envset_errpfx.html" title="DbEnv::set_errpfx()">DbEnv::set_errpfx()</a>
method, followed by two separating characters: a colon and a
<space> character.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>An optional printf-style message</strong></span>
</p>
<p>
The supplied message <span class="bold"><strong>fmt</strong></span>, if
non-NULL, in which the ANSI C X3.159-1989 (ANSI C) printf function
specifies how subsequent parameters are converted for output.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>A separator</strong></span>
</p>
<p>
Two separating characters: a colon and a <space> character.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>A standard error string</strong></span>
</p>
<p>
The standard system or Berkeley DB library error string associated
with the <span class="bold"><strong>error</strong></span> value, as returned by
the <a class="xref" href="envstrerror.html" title="DbEnv::strerror()">DbEnv::strerror()</a>
method.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
This constructed error message is then handled as follows:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
If an error callback function has been set (see
<a class="xref" href="dbset_errcall.html" title="Db::set_errcall()">Db::set_errcall()</a> and
<a class="xref" href="envset_errcall.html" title="DbEnv::set_errcall()">DbEnv::set_errcall()</a>),
that function is called with two parameters: any prefix string
specified (see <a class="xref" href="dbset_errpfx.html" title="Db::set_errpfx()">Db::set_errpfx()</a>
and <a class="xref" href="envset_errpfx.html" title="DbEnv::set_errpfx()">DbEnv::set_errpfx()</a>) and
the error message.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If a C library FILE * has been set (see
<a class="xref" href="dbset_errfile.html" title="Db::set_errfile()">Db::set_errfile()</a> and
<a class="xref" href="envset_errfile.html" title="DbEnv::set_errfile()">DbEnv::set_errfile()</a>),
the error message is written to that output stream.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If a C++ ostream has been set (see
<a class="xref" href="envset_error_stream.html" title="DbEnv::set_error_stream()">DbEnv::set_error_stream()</a>
and
<a class="xref" href="dbset_error_stream.html" title="Db::set_error_stream()">Db::set_error_stream()</a>),
the error message is written to that stream.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If none of these output options have been configured, the error message
is written to stderr, the standard error output stream.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
