DB_ENV->get_ext_file_dir()

#include <db.h>

int
DB_ENV->get_ext_file_dir(DB_ENV *dbenv, const char **dirp);  

The DB_ENV->get_ext_file_dir() method returns the directory location where external file data is stored. The default location can be set using DB_ENV->set_ext_file_dir() . Use this method only if the database was opened in an environment. If the database was not opened within an encompassing environment, use DB->get_ext_file_dir() instead.

The DB_ENV->get_ext_file_dir() method always returns 0 to indicate success.

Parameters

dirp

The dirp parameter references memory into which is copied the path to the external file data directory. If DB_ENV->set_ext_file_dir() has not been called prior to calling this method, or if external files are notsupported by this environment, then this parameter is set to NULL.
