<p>
If there has been any logging activity in the database environment
since the last checkpoint, the <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;txn_checkpoint()</code> method
flushes the underlying memory pool, writes a checkpoint record to the
log, and then flushes the log.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;txn_checkpoint()</code> method returns a non-zero error value on
failure and 0 on success.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;txn_checkpoint()</code> method is the underlying method used by
the <a class="link" href="db_checkpoint.html" title="db_checkpoint">db_checkpoint</a>
utility. See the <a class="link" href="db_checkpoint.html" title="db_checkpoint">db_checkpoint</a> utility
source code for an example of using <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;txn_checkpoint()</code> in a
IEEE/ANSI Std 1003.1 (POSIX) environment.
