18
<p>The <a href="../../api_c/db_get_type.html">DB->get_type</a> method method can return an error in the Berkeley DB 3.3
19
release, and so requires an interface change. C and C++ applications
20
calling <a href="../../api_c/db_get_type.html">DB->get_type</a> should be changed to treat the method's
21
return as an error code, and to pass an additional second argument of
22
type <b>DBTYPE *</b> to the method. The additional argument is used
23
as a memory location in which to store the requested information.
