<A NAME="Locking Commands"></A>Locking Commands</H2>
Most locking commands work with the environment handle.&nbsp; However,
when a user gets a lock we create a new lock handle that they then use
with in a similar manner to all the other handles to release the lock.&nbsp;
We present the general locking functions first, and then those that manipulate
locks.
<P><B>> &lt;env> lock_detect [-lock_conflict] [default|oldest|youngest|random]</B>
<P>This command runs the deadlock detector.&nbsp; It directly translates
to the <A HREF="../../docs/api_c/lock_detect.html">lock_detect</A> DB call.&nbsp;
It returns either a 0 (for success), a DB error message or it throws a
Tcl error with a system message.&nbsp; The first argument sets the policy
for deadlock as follows:
<UL>
<LI>
<B>default</B> selects the DB_LOCK_DEFAULT policy for default detection
(default if not specified)</LI>
<LI>
<B>oldest </B>selects DB_LOCK_OLDEST to abort the oldest locker on a deadlock</LI>
<LI>
<B>random</B> selects DB_LOCK_RANDOM to abort a random locker on a deadlock</LI>
<LI>
<B>youngest</B> selects DB_LOCK_YOUNGEST to abort the youngest locker on
a deadlock</LI>
</UL>
The second argument, <B>-lock_conflict</B>, selects the DB_LOCK_CONFLICT
flag to only run the detector if a lock conflict has occurred since the
last time the detector was run.

<BR><B>> &lt;env> lock_stat</B>
<P>This command returns a list of name/value pairs where the names correspond
to the C-structure field names of DB_LOCK_STAT and the values are the data
returned.&nbsp; This command is a direct translation of the <A HREF="../../docs/api_c/lock_stat.html">lock_stat</A>
DB call.
<HR WIDTH="100%">
<BR><A NAME="> <env> lock_id"></A><B>> &lt;env> lock_id</B>
<P>This command returns a unique locker ID value.&nbsp; It directly translates
to the <A HREF="../../docs/api_c/lock_id.html">lock_id</A> DB call.
<HR WIDTH="100%">
<BR><A NAME="> <env> lock_get"></A><B>> &lt;env> lock_get [-nowait]<I>lockmode
locker obj</I></B>
<P>This command gets a lock. It will invoke the <A HREF="../../docs/api_c/lock_get.html">lock_get</A>
function.&nbsp; After it successfully gets a handle to a lock, we bind
it to a new Tcl command of the form <B><I>$env.lockX</I></B>, where X is
an integer starting at&nbsp; 0 (e.g. <B>$env.lock0, $env.lock1, </B>etc).&nbsp;
We use the <I>Tcl_CreateObjCommand()</I> to create the top level locking
command function.&nbsp; It is through this handle that the user can release
the lock.&nbsp; Internally, the handle we get back from DB will be stored
as the <I>ClientData</I> portion of the new command set so that future
locking calls will have that handle readily available.
<P>The arguments are:
<UL>
<LI>
<B><I>locker</I></B> specifies the locker ID returned from the <A HREF="#> <env> lock_id">lock_id</A>
command</LI>
<LI>
<B><I>obj</I></B> specifies an object to lock</LI>
<LI>
the <B><I>lock mode</I></B> is specified as one of the following:</LI>
<UL>
<LI>
<B>ng </B>specifies DB_LOCK_NG for not granted (always 0)</LI>
<LI>
<B>read</B> specifies DB_LOCK_READ for a read (shared) lock</LI>
<LI>
<B>write</B> specifies DB_LOCK_WRITE for an exclusive write lock</LI>
<LI>
<B>iwrite </B>specifies DB_LOCK_IWRITE for intent for exclusive write lock</LI>
<LI>
<B>iread </B>specifies DB_LOCK_IREAD for intent for shared read lock</LI>
<LI>
<B>iwr </B>specifies DB_LOCK_IWR for intent for eread and write lock</LI>
</UL>
<LI>
<B>-nowait</B> selects the DB_LOCK_NOWAIT to indicate that we do not want
to wait on the lock</LI>
</UL>
<HR WIDTH="100%">
<BR><B>> &lt;lock> put</B>
<P>This command releases the lock referenced by the command.&nbsp; It is
a direct translation of the <A HREF="../../docs/api_c/lock_put.html">lock_put</A>
function.&nbsp; It returns either a 0 (for success), a DB error message
or it throws a Tcl error with a system message.&nbsp; Additionally, since
the handle is no longer valid, we will call
<I>Tcl_DeleteCommand()
</I>so
that further uses of the handle will be dealt with properly by Tcl itself.
<BR>
<HR WIDTH="100%">
<BR><A NAME="> <env> lock_vec"></A><B>> &lt;env> lock_vec [-nowait] <I>locker
</I>{get|put|put_all|put_obj
[<I>obj</I>] [<I>lockmode</I>] [<I>lock</I>]} ...</B>
<P>This command performs a series of lock calls.&nbsp; It is a direct translation
of the <A HREF="../../docs/api_c/lock_vec.html">lock_vec</A> function.&nbsp;
This command will return a list of the return values from each operation
specified in the argument list.&nbsp; For the 'put' operations the entry
in the return value list is either a 0 (for success) or an error.&nbsp;
For the 'get' operation, the entry is the lock widget handle, <B>$env.lockN</B>
(as described above in <A HREF="#> <env> lock_get">&lt;env> lock_get</A>)
or an error.&nbsp; If an error occurs, the return list will contain the
return values for all the successful operations up the erroneous one and
the error code for that operation.&nbsp; Subsequent operations will be
ignored.
<P>As for the other operations, if we are doing a 'get' we will create
the commands and if we are doing a 'put' we will have to delete the commands.&nbsp;
Additionally, we will have to do this after the call to the DB lock_vec
and iterate over the results, creating and/or deleting Tcl commands.&nbsp;
It is possible that we may return a lock widget from a get operation that
is considered invalid, if, for instance, there was a <B>put_all</B> operation
performed later in the vector of operations.&nbsp; The arguments are:
<UL>
<LI>
<B><I>locker</I></B> specifies the locker ID returned from the <A HREF="#> <env> lock_id">lock_id</A>
command</LI>
<LI>
<B>-nowait</B> selects the DB_LOCK_NOWAIT to indicate that we do not want
to wait on the lock</LI>
<LI>
the lock vectors are tuple consisting of {an operation, lock object, lock
mode, lock handle} where what is required is based on the operation desired:</LI>
<UL>
<LI>
<B>get</B> specifes DB_LOCK_GET to get a lock.&nbsp; Requires a tuple <B>{get
<I>obj</I>
<I>mode</I>}
</B>where
<B><I>mode</I></B>
is:</LI>
<UL>
<LI>
<B>ng </B>specifies DB_LOCK_NG for not granted (always 0)</LI>

Requires a tuple <B>{put_all}</B></LI>
