<p>
Set the mutex alignment, in bytes.
</p>
<p>
It is sometimes advantageous to align mutexes on specific byte
boundaries in order to minimize cache line collisions. The
<code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;mutex_set_align()</code> method specifies an alignment for mutexes
allocated by Berkeley DB.
</p>
<p>
The database environment's mutex alignment may also be configured
using the environment's <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file. The
syntax of the entry in that file is a single line with the string
"mutex_set_align", one or more whitespace characters, and the mutex
alignment in bytes. Because the <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file is
read when the database environment is opened, it will silently
overrule configuration done before that time.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;mutex_set_align()</code> method configures a database
environment, not only operations performed using the specified
<a class="link" href="env.html" title="Chapter 5.  The DB_ENV Handle">DB_ENV</a> handle.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;mutex_set_align()</code> method may not be called after the
<a class="xref" href="envopen.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;open()">DB_ENV-&gt;open()</a> method is
called. If the database environment already exists when
<a class="xref" href="envopen.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;open()">DB_ENV-&gt;open()</a> is called, the
information specified to <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;mutex_set_align()</code> will be ignored.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;mutex_set_align()</code> <span>
<span>
method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
