<p>
Declare a function that returns if a thread of control (either a true
thread or a process) is still running. The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::set_isalive()</code>
method supports the <a class="xref" href="envfailchk.html" title="DbEnv::failchk()">DbEnv::failchk()</a> method.
For more information, see
<a href="../../programmer_reference/cam_app.html" class="olink">Architecting Data Store and Concurrent
Data Store applications</a>, and
<a href="../../programmer_reference/transapp_app.html" class="olink">Architecting Transactional Data Store
applications</a>, both in the <em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB Programmer's Reference Guide</em>.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::set_isalive()</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_isalive()</code> method may be called at any time during the
life of the application.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::set_isalive()</code> <span>
<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.

The <span class="bold"><strong>is_alive</strong></span> parameter is a function
which returns non-zero if the thread of control, identified by the
<span class="bold"><strong>pid</strong></span> and <span class="bold"><strong>tid</strong></span> arguments, is still running. The function
takes four arguments:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>dbenv</strong></span>
</p>
<p>
The <span class="bold"><strong>dbenv</strong></span> parameter is the enclosing
database environment handle, allowing application access to the
application-private fields of that object.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>pid</strong></span>
</p>
<p>
The <span class="bold"><strong>pid</strong></span> parameter is a process ID
returned by the function specified to the
<a class="xref" href="envset_thread_id.html" title="DbEnv::set_thread_id()">DbEnv::set_thread_id()</a>
method.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>tid</strong></span>
</p>
<p>
The <span class="bold"><strong>tid</strong></span> parameter is a thread ID
returned by the function specified to the
<a class="xref" href="envset_thread_id.html" title="DbEnv::set_thread_id()">DbEnv::set_thread_id()</a>
method.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>flags</strong></span>
</p>
<p>
The <span class="bold"><strong>flags</strong></span> parameter must be set to 0
or the following value:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="circle">
<li>
<p><a id="isalive_DB_MUTEX_PROCESS_ONLY"></a>
