<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;log_file()</code> method maps
<code class="classname">DB_LSN</code> structures to filenames,
returning the name of the file containing the record named by
<span class="bold"><strong>lsn</strong></span>.
</p>
<p>
This mapping of <code class="classname">DB_LSN</code> structures to files is needed for database
administration. For example, a transaction manager typically records
the earliest <a class="link" href="lsn.html" title="Chapter 7.  The DB_LSN Handle">DB_LSN</a>
needed for restart, and the database administrator may want to archive
log files to tape when they contain only
<a class="link" href="lsn.html" title="Chapter 7.  The DB_LSN Handle">DB_LSN</a> entries before the
earliest one needed for restart.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;log_file()</code> <span>
<span>
method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
