a Berkeley DB error

or an error return value is returned by the interface. In some cases,
|
|
|
|
|
|
however, the <span class="bold"><strong>errno</strong></span> value may be
|
|
|
|
|
|
insufficient to completely describe the cause of the error, especially
|
|
|
|
|

during initial application debugging.

The <a class="xref" href="envset_errfile.html" title="DB_ENV->set_errfile()">DB_ENV->set_errfile()</a> and
|
|
|
|
|
|
<code class="methodname">DB->set_errfile()</code> methods are used to enhance the mechanism for
|
|
|
|
|
|
reporting error messages to the application by setting a C library
|
|
|
|
|
|
FILE * to be used for displaying additional Berkeley DB error
|
|
|
|
|
|
messages. In some cases, when an error occurs, Berkeley DB will
|
|
|
|
|
|
output an additional error message to the specified file reference.

Alternatively, you can use the

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
<a class="xref" href="envset_errcall.html" title="DB_ENV->set_errcall()">DB_ENV->set_errcall()</a> or

|
|
<a class="xref" href="dbset_errcall.html" title="DB->set_errcall()">DB->set_errcall()</a>
|
|
|
|
|
|
methods to capture the additional error information in a way that does
|
|
|
|
|
|
not use C library FILE *'s.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
The error message will consist of the prefix string and a colon
|
|
|
|
|
|
("<span class="bold"><strong>:</strong></span>") (if a prefix string was
|
|
|
|
|

previously specified using

<a class="xref" href="dbset_errpfx.html" title="DB->set_errpfx()">DB->set_errpfx()</a> or

The default configuration when applications first create

<a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The DB Handle">DB</a> or
|
|
|
|

<a class="link" href="env.html" title="Chapter 5. The DB_ENV Handle">DB_ENV</a> handles is as if the

<a class="xref" href="envset_errfile.html" title="DB_ENV->set_errfile()">DB_ENV->set_errfile()</a> or

|
|
<code class="methodname">DB->set_errfile()</code> methods were called with the standard error output
|
|
|
|
|
|
(stderr) specified as the FILE * argument. Applications wanting no
|
|
|
|

|
output at all can turn off this default configuration by calling the
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a class="xref" href="envset_errfile.html" title="DB_ENV->set_errfile()">DB_ENV->set_errfile()</a> or
|
|
|
|
|
|
<code class="methodname">DB->set_errfile()</code> methods with NULL as the FILE * argument.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, explicitly configuring the error output channel using
|
|
|

any of the following methods will also turn off this default output for the application:
