<p>The Berkeley DB access methods provide no guarantees about byte alignment for
returned key/data pairs, or callback functions which take <a href="../api_reference/C/dbt.html" class="olink">DBT</a>
references as arguments, and applications are responsible for arranging
any necessary alignment. The <a href="../api_reference/C/dbt.html#dbt_DB_DBT_MALLOC" class="olink">DB_DBT_MALLOC</a>, <a href="../api_reference/C/dbt.html#dbt_DB_DBT_REALLOC" class="olink">DB_DBT_REALLOC</a>, and
<a href="../api_reference/C/dbt.html#dbt_DB_DBT_USERMEM" class="olink">DB_DBT_USERMEM</a> flags may be used to
store returned items in memory of arbitrary alignment.</p>
