<p>
|

When an error occurs in the Berkeley DB library,
|
||
|
||
<span>
|
||
an exception is thrown
|
||
</span>
|
||
or an error return value is returned by the interface. In some cases,
|
||
however, the <span class="bold"><strong>errno</strong></span> value may be
|
||
insufficient to completely describe the cause of the error, especially
|
||
during initial application debugging.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <a class="xref" href="envset_errfile.html" title="DbEnv::set_errfile()">DbEnv::set_errfile()</a> and
|
||
<code class="methodname">Db::set_errfile()</code> methods are used to enhance the mechanism for
|
||
reporting error messages to the application by setting a C library
|
||
FILE * to be used for displaying additional Berkeley DB error
|
||
messages. In some cases, when an error occurs, Berkeley DB will
|
||
output an additional error message to the specified file reference.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Alternatively, you can use the
|
||
<span>
|
||
<a class="xref" href="envset_error_stream.html" title="DbEnv::set_error_stream()">DbEnv::set_error_stream()</a>
|
||
and
|
||
<a class="xref" href="dbset_error_stream.html" title="Db::set_error_stream()">Db::set_error_stream()</a>
|
||
methods to display the additional messages via an output stream, or the
|
||
</span>
|
||
|
||
<a class="xref" href="envset_errcall.html" title="DbEnv::set_errcall()">DbEnv::set_errcall()</a> or
|
||
<a class="xref" href="dbset_errcall.html" title="Db::set_errcall()">Db::set_errcall()</a>
|
||
methods to capture the additional error information in a way that does
|
||
not use C library FILE *'s.
|
||
<span>You should not mix these approaches.</span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The error message will consist of the prefix string and a colon
|
||
("<span class="bold"><strong>:</strong></span>") (if a prefix string was
|
||
previously specified using
|
||
<a class="xref" href="dbset_errpfx.html" title="Db::set_errpfx()">Db::set_errpfx()</a> or
|
||
<a class="xref" href="envset_errpfx.html" title="DbEnv::set_errpfx()">DbEnv::set_errpfx()</a> ), an
|
||
error string, and a trailing <newline> character.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The default configuration when applications first create
|
||
<a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The Db Handle">Db</a> or
|
||
<a class="link" href="env.html" title="Chapter 5. The DbEnv Handle">DbEnv</a> handles is as if the
|
||
<a class="xref" href="envset_errfile.html" title="DbEnv::set_errfile()">DbEnv::set_errfile()</a> or
|
||
<code class="methodname">Db::set_errfile()</code> methods were called with the standard error output
|
||
(stderr) specified as the FILE * argument. Applications wanting no
|
||
output at all can turn off this default configuration by calling the
|
||
<a class="xref" href="envset_errfile.html" title="DbEnv::set_errfile()">DbEnv::set_errfile()</a> or
|
||
<code class="methodname">Db::set_errfile()</code> methods with NULL as the FILE * argument.
|
||
Additionally, explicitly configuring the error output channel using
|
||
any of the following methods will also turn off this default output for the application:
|
||

<div class="itemizedlist">

<ul type="disc">

This error logging enhancement does not slow performance or
|
||
significantly increase application size, and may be run during normal
|
||
operation as well as during application debugging.
|

</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
For <a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The Db Handle">Db</a> handles opened
|
||
inside of Berkeley DB environments, calling the
|
||
<code class="methodname">Db::set_errfile()</code>
|
||
method affects the entire environment and is equivalent to calling the
|
||
<a class="xref" href="envset_errfile.html" title="DbEnv::set_errfile()">DbEnv::set_errfile()</a>
|
||
method.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When used on a database that was <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> opened in
|
||
an environment, the <code class="methodname">Db::set_errfile()</code>
|
||
method configures operations performed using the specified
|
||
<a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The Db Handle">Db</a> handle, not all operations
|
||
performed on the underlying database.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <code class="methodname">Db::set_errfile()</code> method may be called at any time during the
|
||
life of the application.
