In some cases, however, the return value may be insufficient to completely describe the cause of the error especially during initial application debugging. <p>The DB_ENV->set_errfile and <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_set_errfile.html">DB->set_errfile</a> methods are used to enhance the mechanism for reporting error messages to the application by setting a C library FILE * to be used for displaying additional Berkeley DB error messages. In some cases, when an error occurs, Berkeley DB will output an additional error message to the specified file reference.</p> <p>The error message will consist of the prefix string and a colon ("<b>:</b>") (if a prefix string was previously specified using <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_set_errpfx.html">DB->set_errpfx</a> or <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/env_set_errpfx.html">DB_ENV->set_errpfx</a>), an error string, and a trailing <newline> character.</p> <p>The default configuration when applications first create <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> or <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> handles is as if the DB_ENV->set_errfile or <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_set_errfile.html">DB->set_errfile</a> methods were called with the standard error output (stderr) specified as the FILE * argument. Applications wanting no output at all can turn off this default configuration by calling the DB_ENV->set_errfile or <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_set_errfile.html">DB->set_errfile</a> methods with NULL as the FILE * argument.
