There are a few interfaces that support run-time configuration of Berkeley DB. First is a group of interfaces that allow applications to intercept Berkeley DB requests for underlying library or system call functionality:
db_env_set_func_close db_env_set_func_dirfree db_env_set_func_dirlist db_env_set_func_exists db_env_set_func_free db_env_set_func_fsync db_env_set_func_ioinfo db_env_set_func_malloc db_env_set_func_map db_env_set_func_open db_env_set_func_read db_env_set_func_realloc db_env_set_func_seek db_env_set_func_sleep db_env_set_func_unlink db_env_set_func_unmap db_env_set_func_write db_env_set_func_yield
These interfaces are only available from the Berkeley DB C language API.
In addition, there are a few interfaces that allow applications to re-configure, on an application-wide basis, Berkeley DB behaviors.
db_env_set_mutexlocks db_env_set_pageyield db_env_set_panicstate db_env_set_region_init db_env_set_tas_spins
These interfaces are available from all of the Berkeley DB programmatic APIs.
A not-uncommon problem for applications is the new API in Solaris 2.6 for manipulating large files. As this API was not part of Solaris 2.5, it is difficult to create a single binary that takes advantage of the large file functionality in Solaris 2.6 but which still runs on Solaris 2.5. Example code that supports this is included.
