Berkeley DB Reference Version 5.3.33

DB_ENV->set_verbose()

#include <db.h>

int
DB_ENV->set_verbose(DB_ENV *dbenv, u_int32_t which, int onoff);  

The DB_ENV->set_verbose() method turns specific additional informational and debugging messages in the Berkeley DB message output on and off. To see the additional messages, verbose messages must also be configured for the application. For more information on verbose messages, see the DB_ENV->set_msgfile() method.

The database environment's messages may also be configured using the environment's DB_CONFIG file. The syntax of the entry in that file is a single line with the string "set_verbose", one or more whitespace characters, and the method which parameter as a string and optionally one or more whitespace characters, and the string "on" or "off". If the optional string is omitted, the default is "on"; for example, "set_verbose DB_VERB_RECOVERY" or "set_verbose DB_VERB_RECOVERY on". Because the DB_CONFIG file is read when the database environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done before that time.

The DB_ENV->set_verbose() method configures operations performed using the specified DB_ENV handle, not all operations performed on the underlying database environment.

The DB_ENV->set_verbose() method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

The DB_ENV->set_verbose() method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

Parameters

The which parameter must be set to one of the following values:

If the onoff parameter is set to non-zero, the additional messages are output.
