|

The <span class="command"><strong>db_printlog</strong></span> utility is a debugging utility that dumps Berkeley DB
|
||
log files in a human-readable format.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
|
||
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
|

<p>
|
||
If the application(s) that use the environment make use of
|
||
the <a class="xref" href="envset_lg_dir.html" title="DB_ENV->set_lg_dir()">DB_ENV->set_lg_dir()</a>
|
||
method, then in order for this utility to run correctly,
|
||
you need a
|
||
<a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a>
|
||
file which sets the proper paths using the
|
||
<a class="xref" href="set_lg_dir_parameter.html" title="set_lg_dir">set_lg_dir</a>
|
||
configuration parameter.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The options are as follows:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="itemizedlist">
|
||
<ul type="disc">
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-b</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Display log records starting at log sequence number (LSN) <span class="bold"><strong>start-LSN</strong></span>; <span class="bold"><strong>start-LSN</strong></span> is specified as a file number,
|
||
followed by a slash (/) character, followed by an offset number, with
|
||
no intervening whitespace.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-e</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Stop displaying log records at log sequence number (LSN) <span class="bold"><strong>stop-LSN</strong></span>; <span class="bold"><strong>stop-LSN</strong></span> is specified as a file number,
|
||
followed by a slash (/) character, followed by an offset number, with
|
||
no intervening whitespace.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-h</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Specify a home directory for the database environment; by default, the
|
||
current working directory is used.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-N</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Do not acquire shared region mutexes while running. Other problems,
|
||
such as potentially fatal errors in Berkeley DB, will be ignored as
|
||
well. This option is intended only for debugging errors, and should
|
||
not be used under any other circumstances.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-P</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Specify an environment password. Although Berkeley DB utilities
|
||
overwrite password strings as soon as possible, be aware there may be
|
||
a window of vulnerability on systems where unprivileged users can see
|
||
command-line arguments or where utilities are not able to overwrite
|
||
the memory containing the command-line arguments.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-r</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Read the log files in reverse order.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-V</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Write the library version number to the standard output, and exit.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>

For more information on the <span class="command"><strong>db_printlog</strong></span> output and using it to debug
|
||
applications, see
|
||
<a href="../../installation/debug_printlog.html" class="olink">Reviewing Berkeley DB log files</a>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <span class="command"><strong>db_printlog</strong></span> utility uses a Berkeley DB environment (as described
|
||
for the <span class="bold"><strong>-h</strong></span> option, the environment
|
||
variable <span class="bold"><strong>DB_HOME</strong></span>, or because the
|
||
utility was run in a directory containing a Berkeley DB environment).
|
||
In order to avoid environment corruption when using a Berkeley DB
|
||
environment, <span class="command"><strong>db_printlog</strong></span> should always be given the chance to detach
|
||
from the environment and exit gracefully. To cause <span class="command"><strong>db_printlog</strong></span> to
|
||
release all environment resources and exit cleanly, send it an
|
||
interrupt signal (SIGINT).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <span class="command"><strong>db_printlog</strong></span> utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error
|
||
occurs.
