Specify the path of a directory to be used as the location of
temporary files. The files created to back in-memory access method
databases will be created relative to this path. These temporary
files can be quite large, depending on the size of the database.

If no directories are specified, the following alternatives are
checked in the specified order. The first existing directory path is
used for all temporary files.

The database environment's temporary file directory may also be
configured using the environment's < a href = "../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class = "olink" > DB_CONFIG< / a > file. The syntax
of the entry in that file is a single line with the string
"set_tmp_dir", one or more whitespace characters, and the
directory name. Because the < a href = "../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class = "olink" > DB_CONFIG< / a > file is read when the
database environment is opened, it will silently overrule
configuration done before that time.

The < code class = "methodname" > DbEnv::set_tmp_dir()< / code > method configures operations performed
using the specified < a class = "link" href = "env.html" title = "Chapter 5. The DbEnv Handle" > DbEnv< / a > handle, not all
operations performed on the underlying database environment.
< / p >
< p >
The < code class = "methodname" > DbEnv::set_tmp_dir()< / code > < span >

method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an
exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure, and returns 0 on success.

as a UTF-8 string, which is equivalent to ASCII for Latin characters.
