The <span class="command"><strong>db_checkpoint</strong></span> utility is a daemon process that monitors the
|
||
database log, and periodically calls
|
||
<a class="xref" href="txncheckpoint.html" title="DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint()">DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint()</a>
|
||
to checkpoint it.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The options are as follows:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="itemizedlist">
|
||
<ul type="disc">
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-1</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Force a single checkpoint of the log (regardless of whether or not
|
||
there has been activity since the last checkpoint), and then exit.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When the <span class="bold"><strong>-1</strong></span> flag is specified, the
|
||
<span class="command"><strong>db_checkpoint</strong></span> utility will checkpoint the log even if unable to find
|
||
an existing database environment. This functionality is useful when
|
||
upgrading database environments from one version of Berkeley DB to
|
||
another.
|
||
</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>-k</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Checkpoint the database at least as often as every <span class="bold"><strong>kbytes</strong></span> of log file are written.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-L</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Log the execution of the <span class="command"><strong>db_checkpoint</strong></span> utility to the specified file
|
||
in the following format, where <span class="emphasis"><em>###</em></span> is the process
|
||
ID, and the date is the time the utility was started.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting"> db_checkpoint: ### Wed Jun 15 01:23:45 EDT 1995 </pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This file will be removed if the <span class="command"><strong>db_checkpoint</strong></span>
|
||
utility exits gracefully.
|
||
</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>-p</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Checkpoint the database at least every <span class="bold"><strong>min</strong></span> minutes
|
||
if there has been any activity since the last checkpoint.
|
||
</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>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-v</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Write the time of each checkpoint attempt to the standard output.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>
|
||
At least one of the <span class="bold"><strong>-1</strong></span>, <span class="bold"><strong>-k</strong></span>, and <span class="bold"><strong>-p</strong></span>
|
||
options must be specified.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <span class="command"><strong>db_checkpoint</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_checkpoint</strong></span> should always be given the chance to detach
|
||
from the environment and exit gracefully. To cause <span class="command"><strong>db_checkpoint</strong></span> to
|
||
release all environment resources and exit cleanly, send it an
|
||
interrupt signal (SIGINT).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <span class="command"><strong>db_checkpoint</strong></span> utility does not attempt to create the Berkeley DB
|
||
shared memory regions if they do not already exist. The application
|
||
that creates the region should be started first, and once the region
|
||
is created, the <span class="command"><strong>db_checkpoint</strong></span> utility should be started.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <a class="xref" href="txncheckpoint.html" title="DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint()">DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint()</a>
|
||
method is the underlying method used by the <span class="command"><strong>db_checkpoint</strong></span> utility. See
|
||
the <span class="command"><strong>db_checkpoint</strong></span> utility source code for an example of using
|
||
<code class="methodname">DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint()</code> in a IEEE/ANSI Std 1003.1 (POSIX) environment.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <span class="command"><strong>db_checkpoint</strong></span> utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error
|
||
occurs.
