DB_ENV->set_lg_dir(DB_ENV *dbenv, const char *dir);
28
<p>The path of a directory to be used as the location of logging files.
29
Log files created by the Log Manager subsystem will be created in this
31
<p>If no logging directory is specified, log files are created in the
32
environment home directory. See <a href="../ref/env/naming.html">Berkeley DB File Naming</a> for more information.
33
<p>For the greatest degree of recoverability from system or application
34
failure, database files and log files should be located on separate
36
<p>The DB_ENV->set_lg_dir interface may be used only to configure Berkeley DB before
37
the <a href="../api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a> interface is called.
38
<p>The DB_ENV->set_lg_dir function returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
39
<p>The database environment's logging directory may also be set using the environment's
40
<b>DB_CONFIG</b> file. The syntax of the entry in that file is a
41
single line with the string "set_lg_dir", one or more whitespace characters,
42
and the directory name. Because the <b>DB_CONFIG</b> file is read when the database
43
environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done
46
<p>The DB_ENV->set_lg_dir function may fail and return a non-zero error for the following conditions:
48
<p><dt>EINVAL<dd>An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
49
<p>Called after <a href="../api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a> was called.
51
<p>The DB_ENV->set_lg_dir function may fail and return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system functions.
52
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DB_ENV->set_lg_dir function may fail and return
53
<a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_RUNRECOVERY">DB_RUNRECOVERY</a>, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail
