DbEnv::get_ext_file_dir()

#include <db_cxx.h>
 
int
DbEnv::get_ext_file_dir(const char **dirp);  

The DbEnv::get_ext_file_dir() method returns the directory location where external file data is stored. The default location can be set using DbEnv::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 DbEnv::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 DbEnv::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.
