<h1>Description</h1>
<p>The path of a directory to be used as the location of logging files.
Log files created by the Log Manager subsystem will be created in this
directory.
<p>If no logging directory is specified, log files are created in the
environment home directory. See <a href="../../db4-devel-4.0.14/ref/env/naming.html">Berkeley DB File Naming</a> for more information.
<p>For the greatest degree of recoverability from system or application
failure, database files and log files should be located on separate
physical devices.
<p>The DbEnv.set_lg_dir interface may be used only to configure Berkeley DB before
the <a href="../../db4-devel-4.0.14/api_java/env_open.html">DbEnv.open</a> interface is called.
<p>The DbEnv.set_lg_dir method throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure.
<p>The database environment's logging directory may also be set using the environment's
<b>DB_CONFIG</b> file. The syntax of the entry in that file is a
single line with the string "set_lg_dir", one or more whitespace characters,
and the directory name. Because the <b>DB_CONFIG</b> file is read when the database
environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done
before that time.
<h1>Errors</h1>
<p>The DbEnv.set_lg_dir method may fail and throw an exception encapsulating a non-zero error for the following conditions:
<p><dl compact>
<p><dt>EINVAL<dd>An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
<p>Called after <a href="../../db4-devel-4.0.14/api_java/env_open.html">DbEnv.open</a> was called.
</dl>
<p>The DbEnv.set_lg_dir method may fail and throw an exception for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods.
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DbEnv.set_lg_dir method may fail and throw
a <a href="../../db4-devel-4.0.14/api_java/runrec_class.html">DbRunRecoveryException</a>, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls
will fail in the same way.
