<h3><pre>
#include &lt;db_cxx.h&gt;
<p>
DbEnv::close(u_int32_t flags);
</pre></h3>
<h1>Description</h1>
<p>The DbEnv::close method closes the Berkeley DB environment, freeing any
allocated resources and closing any underlying subsystems.
<p>Calling DbEnv::close does not imply closing any databases that were
opened in the environment.
<p>The <b>flags</b> parameter is currently unused, and must be set to 0.
<p>Where the environment was initialized with the <a href="../api_cxx/env_open.html#DB_INIT_LOCK">DB_INIT_LOCK</a> flag,
calling DbEnv::close does not release any locks still held by the
closing process, providing functionality for long-lived locks.
Processes that wish to have all their locks
released can do so by issuing the appropriate <a href="../api_cxx/lock_vec.html">DbEnv::lock_vec</a> call.
<p>Where the environment was initialized with the <a href="../api_cxx/env_open.html#DB_INIT_MPOOL">DB_INIT_MPOOL</a>
flag, calling DbEnv::close implies calls to <a href="../api_cxx/memp_fclose.html">DbMpoolFile::close</a> for
any remaining open files in the memory pool that were returned to this
process by calls to <a href="../api_cxx/memp_fopen.html">DbMpoolFile::open</a>. It does not imply a call to
<a href="../api_cxx/memp_fsync.html">DbMpoolFile::sync</a> for those files.
<p>Where the environment was initialized with the <a href="../api_cxx/env_open.html#DB_INIT_TXN">DB_INIT_TXN</a> flag,
calling DbEnv::close aborts any uncommitted transactions.
(Applications are should not depend on this behavior. If the process' has
already closed a database handle which is necessary to abort an
uncommitted transaction, the Berkeley DB environment must then require that
recovery be run before further operations are done, since once a
transaction exists that cannot be committed or aborted, no future
checkpoint can ever succeed.)
<p>In multi-threaded applications, only a single thread may call
DbEnv::close.
<p>Once DbEnv::close has been called, regardless of its return,
the Berkeley DB environment handle may not be accessed again.
<p>The DbEnv::close method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that
encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.
<h1>Errors</h1>
<p>The DbEnv::close method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods.
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DbEnv::close method may fail and either
return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_RUNRECOVERY">DB_RUNRECOVERY</a> or throw an exception encapsulating
<a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_RUNRECOVERY">DB_RUNRECOVERY</a>, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail
in the same way.
