<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;log_verify()</code> method verifies the integrity
of the log records of an environment and writes both error
and normal messages to the error/message output facility of the database environment handle.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;log_verify()</code> method does not perform the
locking function, even in Berkeley DB environments that are configured with a
locking subsystem. Because this function does not access any database files, you can call it even when the environment has other threads of control
attached and running.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;log_verify()</code> method is the underlying method used by the
<code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt; db_log_verify</code> utility. See the
<code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt; db_log_verify</code> utility
source code for an example of using <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;log_verify()</code> in a IEEE/ANSI Std
1003.1 (POSIX) environment.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;log_verify()</code> method returns DB_LOG_VERIFY_BAD when either log errors
are detected or the internal data storage layer does not work.
It returns EINVAL if you specify wrong configurations.
Unless otherwise specified, the <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;log_verify()</code>
<span>
<span>
method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

The <span class="bold"><strong>start_time</strong></span>

<p>
Note that the time range specified is not precise, because such a time range is converted to an lsn range based on the time points we know from transaction commits and checkpoints.

You can specify either an lsn range or a time range. You can neither specify both nor specify an lsn and a time as a range.
