<simpara>When this module is present, &features-my; contains the
 symbol <constant>:BERKELEY-DB</constant>.</simpara>

<simpara>See <filename role="clisp-cvs">modules/berkeley-db/test.tst</filename>
 for sample usage.</simpara>

<note><para>The symbol names do evolve with new Berkeley DB releases.
  E.g., version 4.3 introduced <constant>DB_DSYNC_LOG</constant> which
  was renamed to <constant>DB_LOG_DSYNC</constant> in version 4.7.
  The corresponding Lisp symbol was renamed from
  <constant>:DSYNC-LOG</constant> to <constant>:LOG-DSYNC</constant>
  when support for version 4.7 was added.
  This means that we always use Lisp names which correspond to the
  &c-lang; names in the <emphasis>latest</emphasis> Berkeley DB release,
  even though we keep suport for older releases.
  This is convenient because the online documentation to which this
  manual refers documents the latest Berkeley DB release.</para></note>

<section id="bdb-close"><title>Closing handles</title>

<para>&close; will close (or commit, in the case of a
 <link linkend="bdb-transaction">transaction</link>, or
 put, in the case of a <link linkend="bdb-lock">lock</link>)
 the Berkeley-DB handle objects.  The &gc;or will also call &close;.
 Closing an object will &close; all its dependents and remove the object
 itself from the dependents lists of its parents (but see
 <link linkend="bdb-lock"><function>BDB:LOCK-CLOSE</function></link>).</para>
