    int
    db_env_set_func_dirfree(void (*func_dirfree)(char **namesp, int cnt));

# Description

The Berkeley DB library requires the ability to return any memory allocated as part of the routine which reads through a directory and creates a list of files that that the directory contains (see db_env_set_func_dirlist). The func_dirfree argument must conform to the following interface:

>     int dirfree(char **namesp, int cnt);

The namesp and cnt arguments are the same values as were returned by the db_env_set_func_dirlist function.

The func_dirfree function must return the value of errno on failure and 0 on success.

The db_env_set_func_dirfree interface affects the entire application, not a single database or database environment.

While the db_env_set_func_dirfree interface may be used to configure Berkeley DB at any time during the life of the application, it should normally be called before making any calls to the db_env_create or db_create functions.

The db_env_set_func_dirfree interface may only be used to configure Berkeley DB before the DBENV->open interface is called.

The db_env_set_func_dirfree function returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

# Errors

EINVAL
  An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
