Description: DB_MPOOLFILE-&gt;open
The DB_MPOOLFILE-&gt;open method opens a file in the shared memory buffer pool.
The DB_MPOOLFILE-&gt;open method
returns a non-zero error value on failure
and 0 on success.

Parameters 
 file<ul compact><li>The file parameter is the name of the file to be opened. If
file is NULL, a private temporary file is created that
cannot be shared with any other process (although it may be shared with
other threads of control in the same process).</ul>
When using a Unicode build on Windows (the default), the file
argument will be interpreted as a UTF-8 string, which is equivalent to
ASCII for Latin characters.
 flags<ul compact><li>The flags parameter must be set to 0 or by bitwise inclusively OR'ing together one
or more of the following values:
 
<a name="DB_CREATE">DB_CREATE</a><ul compact><li>Create any underlying files, as necessary. If the files do not already
exist and the DB_CREATE flag is not specified, the call will
fail.</ul>
<a name="2"></a>
<a name="DB_DIRECT">DB_DIRECT</a><ul compact><li>If set and supported by the system, turn off system buffering of the
file to avoid double caching.</ul>
<a name="DB_MULTIVERSION">DB_MULTIVERSION</a><ul compact><li>Open the file with support for <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/ref/transapp/read.html">multiversion concurrency control</a>. Calls to <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/memp_fget.html">DB_MPOOLFILE-&gt;get</a> which
dirty pages will cause copies to be made in the cache.</ul>
<a name="DB_NOMMAP">DB_NOMMAP</a><ul compact><li>Always copy this file into the local cache instead of potentially mapping
it into process memory (see the description of the
<a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/env_set_mp_mmapsize.html">DB_ENV-&gt;set_mp_mmapsize</a> method for further information).</ul>
<a name="DB_ODDFILESIZE">DB_ODDFILESIZE</a><ul compact><li>Attempts to open files which are not a multiple of the page size in
length will fail, by default. If the DB_ODDFILESIZE flag is
set, any partial page at the end of the file will be ignored and the
open will proceed.</ul>
<a name="DB_RDONLY">DB_RDONLY</a><ul compact><li>Open any underlying files for reading only. Any attempt to write the file
using the pool functions will fail, regardless of the actual permissions
of the file.</ul>
 </ul>
 mode<ul compact><li>On Windows systems, the mode parameter is ignored.
On UNIX systems or in IEEE/ANSI Std 1003.1 (POSIX) environments, files created by DB_MPOOLFILE-&gt;open
are created with mode mode (as described in chmod(2))
and modified by the process' umask value at the time of creation (see
umask(2)). Created files are owned by the process owner; the
group ownership of created files is based on the system and directory
defaults, and is not further specified by Berkeley DB. System shared memory
segments created by DB_MPOOLFILE-&gt;open are created with mode mode, unmodified
by the process' umask value. If mode is 0, DB_MPOOLFILE-&gt;open will use a
default mode of readable and writable by both owner and group.</ul>
 pagesize<ul compact><li>The pagesize parameter is the size, in bytes, of the unit of
transfer between the application and the cache, although it is not
necessarily the unit of transfer between the cache and the underlying
filesystem.</ul>
 
 Errors
The DB_MPOOLFILE-&gt;open method
may fail and return one of the following non-zero errors:
 
EINVAL<ul compact><li>If the file has already been entered into the pool, and the pagesize
value is not the same as when the file was entered into the pool, or the
length of the file is not zero or a multiple of the pagesize;
the DB_RDONLY flag was specified for an in-memory pool; or if an
invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul>
 
 
ENOMEM<ul compact><li>The maximum number of open files has been reached.</ul>
