<p>
The <a class="xref" href="enverr.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;err()">DB_ENV-&gt;err()</a>,
<code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;errx()</code>, <code class="methodname">DB-&gt;err()</code> and
<code class="methodname">DB-&gt;errx()</code> methods provide error-messaging functionality for
applications written using the Berkeley DB library.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB-&gt;err()</code> and <a class="xref" href="enverr.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;err()">DB_ENV-&gt;err()</a> methods construct
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="DB_ENV-&gt;set_errcall()">DB_ENV-&gt;set_errcall()</a>
method, any prefix string specified using the
<a class="xref" href="envset_errpfx.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;set_errpfx()">DB_ENV-&gt;set_errpfx()</a>
method, followed by two separating characters: a colon and a
&lt;space&gt; 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 &lt;space&gt; 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="db_strerror">db_strerror</a>
method.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB-&gt;errx()</code> and <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;errx()</code> methods
are the same as the <code class="methodname">DB-&gt;err()</code> and
<a class="xref" href="enverr.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;err()">DB_ENV-&gt;err()</a> methods, except they do not append
the final separator characters and standard error string to the error message.
</p>
<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-&gt;set_errcall()">DB-&gt;set_errcall()</a> and
<a class="xref" href="envset_errcall.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;set_errcall()">DB_ENV-&gt;set_errcall()</a>),
that function is called with two parameters: any prefix string
specified (see <a class="xref" href="dbset_errpfx.html" title="DB-&gt;set_errpfx()">DB-&gt;set_errpfx()</a>
and <a class="xref" href="envset_errpfx.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;set_errpfx()">DB_ENV-&gt;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-&gt;set_errfile()">DB-&gt;set_errfile()</a> and
<a class="xref" href="envset_errfile.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;set_errfile()">DB_ENV-&gt;set_errfile()</a>),
the error message is written to that output 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>
