API Ref

#include <db.h>

int DB_MPOOLFILE->set_clear_len(DB_MPOOLFILE *mpf, u_int32_t len);

int DB_MPOOLFILE->get_clear_len(DB_MPOOLFILE *mpf, u_int32_t *lenp);


Description: DB_MPOOLFILE->set_clear_len

The DB_MPOOLFILE->set_clear_len method sets the number of initial bytes in a page that should be set to nul when the page is created as a result of the DB_MPOOL_CREATE or DB_MPOOL_NEW flags being specified to DB_MPOOLFILE->get. If no value is specified, or len is 0, the entire page is cleared.

The DB_MPOOLFILE->set_clear_len method configures a file in the memory pool, not only operations performed using the specified DB_MPOOLFILE handle.

The DB_MPOOLFILE->set_clear_len method may not be called after the DB_MPOOLFILE->open method is called. If the file is already open in the memory pool when DB_MPOOLFILE->open is called, the information specified to DB_MPOOLFILE->set_clear_len must be consistent with the existing file or an error will be returned.

The DB_MPOOLFILE->set_clear_len method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
