<p>
Configure the total number of mutexes to allocate. This method is
deprecated. The maximum size of the mutex region is now inferred by
the sizes of the other memory structures, and so this method is no
longer needed. For example, the cache requires one mutex per page
in the cache. When you specify the cache size, DB assumes a
page size of 4K and allocates mutexes accordingly. If your page
size is different than 4K, you indicate this using
<a class="xref" href="envset_mp_pagesize.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;set_mp_pagesize()">DB_ENV-&gt;set_mp_pagesize()</a>.
DB will then allocate the proper number of mutexes based on this new page size.
</p>
<p>
You can use this method to override DB's mutex calculation, but
it is not recommended to do so.
</p>
<p>
Calling the <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;mutex_set_max()</code> method discards any value
previously set using the
<a class="xref" href="mutexset_increment.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;mutex_set_increment()">DB_ENV-&gt;mutex_set_increment()</a> method.
</p>
<p>
The database environment's total number of mutexes 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_max", one or more whitespace characters, and the total
number of mutexes. 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_max()</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_max()</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_max()</code> will be ignored.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;mutex_set_max()</code> <span>
<span>
