still using the \\$1.
.PP
The result of attempting to forcibly destroy the region when a process
has the region open is unspecified.
Processes using a shared memory region maintain an open file descriptor
for it.
On UNIX systems, the region removal should succeed
and processes that have already joined the region should continue to
run in the region without change,
however processes attempting to join the \\$1 will either fail or
attempt to create a new region.
On other systems, e.g., WNT, where the
.IR unlink (2)
system call will fail if any process has an open file descriptor
for the file,
the region removal will fail.
.PP
In the case of catastrophic or system failure,
database recovery must be performed (see
.IR db_recover (1)
or the DB_RECOVER flags to
.IR \\*(Va (3)).
Alternatively, if recovery is not required because no database state is
maintained across failures,
it is possible to clean up a \\$1 by removing all of the
files in the directory specified to the
.I \\*(Vo
.Al function, method,
as \\$1 files are never created in any directory other than the one
specified to
.IR \\*(Vo .
Note, however,
that this has the potential to remove files created by the other DB
subsystems in this database environment.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.Gn
.PP
This manual page describes the specific details of the log manager.
.PP
These functions provide a general-purpose logging facility sufficient
for transaction management.
Logs can be shared by multiple processes.
.PP
The DB transaction log is represented by a directory containing a set of
files.
The log is a record-oriented, append-only file, with records identified
and accessed via
.IR DB_LSN 's
(database log sequence numbers).
.PP
DB_LSN's are returned on each
.I log_put
operation, and only those DB_LSN's returned by
.I log_put
can later be used to retrieve records from the log.
.PP
.Co log log
.PP
If the log region is being created and log files are already present,
the log files are ``recovered'' and subsequent log writes are appended
to the end of the log.
.PP
The log is stored in one or more files in the specified directory.
Each file is named using the format
.sp
.ti +5
log.NNNNN
.sp
where ``NNNNN'' is the sequence number of the file within the log.
.PP
.Fm
.Ft log_open DB_LOG
.PP
.Mo "log subsystem"
.PP
The logging subsystem is configured
.En "log_open" "log_close"
.TP 5
.Se
.TP 5
u_int32_t lg_max;
The maximum size of a single file in the log.
Because DB_LSN file offsets are unsigned 4-byte values,
.I lg_max
may not be larger than the maximum unsigned 4-byte value.
.sp
If
.I lg_max
is 0, a default value is used.
.PP
.Rt log_open
.PP
.Fn log_close
The
.I log_close
function closes the log specified by the
.I logp
argument.
.PP
.Cc log
.PP
When multiple threads are using the DB_LOG handle concurrently,
only a single thread may call the
.I log_close
function.
.PP
.Rt log_close
.PP
.Fn log_flush
The
.I log_flush
function guarantees that all log records whose LSNs are less than or
equal to the
.I lsn
parameter have been written to disk.
If
.I lsn
is NULL,
all records in the log are flushed.
.PP
.Rt log_flush
.PP
.Fn log_get
The
.I log_get
function implements a cursor inside of the log,
retrieving records from the log according to the
.I lsn
and
.I flags
parameters.
.PP
The data field of the
.I data
structure is set to the record retrieved and the size field indicates the
number of bytes in the record.
See
.IR db_dbt (3)
for a description of other fields in the
.I data
structure.
.ft B
When multiple threads are using the returned DB_LOG handle concurrently,
either the DB_DBT_MALLOC or DB_DBT_USERMEM flags must be specified for
any DBT used for data retrieval.
.ft R
.PP
The
.I flags
parameter must be set to exactly one of the following values:
.TP 5
DB_CHECKPOINT
The last record written with the DB_CHECKPOINT flag specified to the
.I log_put
function is returned in the
.I data
argument.
The
.I lsn
argument is overwritten with the DB_LSN of the record returned.
If no record has been previously written with the DB_CHECKPOINT flag
specified,
the first record in the log is returned.
.IP
If the log is empty the
.I log_get
function will return DB_NOTFOUND.
.TP 5
DB_FIRST
The first record from any of the log files found in the log directory
is returned in the
.I data
argument.
The
.I lsn
argument is overwritten with the DB_LSN of the record returned.
.IP
If the log is empty the
.I log_get
function will return DB_NOTFOUND.
.TP 5
DB_LAST
The last record in the log is returned in the
.I data
argument.
The
.I lsn
argument is overwritten with the DB_LSN of the record returned.
.IP
If the log is empty,
the
.I log_get
function will return DB_NOTFOUND.
.TP 5
DB_NEXT
The current log position is advanced to the next record in the log and that
record is returned in the
.I data
argument.
The
.I lsn
argument is overwritten with the DB_LSN of the record returned.
.IP
If the pointer has not been initialized via DB_FIRST, DB_LAST,
DB_SET, DB_NEXT, or DB_PREV,
.I log_get
will return the first record in the log.
If the last log record has already been returned or the log is empty,
the
.I log_get
function will return DB_NOTFOUND.
.IP
If the log was opened with the DB_THREAD flag set,
calls to
.I log_get
with the DB_NEXT flag set will return EINVAL.
.TP 5
DB_PREV
The current log position is moved to the previous record in the log and that
record is returned in the
.I data
argument.
The
.I lsn
argument is overwritten with the DB_LSN of the record returned.
.IP
If the pointer has not been initialized via DB_FIRST, DB_LAST,
DB_SET, DB_NEXT, or DB_PREV,
.I log_get
will return the last record in the log.
If the first log record has already been returned or the log is empty,
the
.I log_get
function will return DB_NOTFOUND.
.IP
If the log was opened with the DB_THREAD flag set,
calls to
.I log_get
with the DB_PREV flag set will return EINVAL.
.TP 5
DB_CURRENT
Return the log record currently referenced by the log.
.IP
If the log pointer has not been initialized via DB_FIRST, DB_LAST, DB_SET,
DB_NEXT, or DB_PREV, or if the log was opened with the DB_THREAD flag set,
.I log_get
will return EINVAL.
.TP 5
DB_SET
Retrieve the record specified by the
.I lsn
argument.
If the specified DB_LSN is invalid (e.g., does not appear in the log)
.I log_get
will return EINVAL.
.PP
.Ro log_get
.PP
.Fn log_compare
The
.I log_compare
function allows the caller to compare two DB_LSN's.
.I Log_compare
returns 0 if the two DB_LSN's are equal, 1 if
.I lsn0
is greater than
.IR lsn1 ,
and -1 if
.I lsn0
is less than
.IR lsn1 .
.PP
.Fn log_file
The
.I log_file
function maps DB_LSN's to file names.
The
.I log_file
function copies the name of the file containing the record named by
.I lsn
into the memory location referenced by
.IR namep .
(This mapping of DB_LSN to file is needed for database administration.
For example, a transaction manager typically records the earliest DB_LSN
needed for restart, and the database administrator may want to archive
log files to tape when they contain only DB_LSN's before the earliest one
needed for restart.)
.PP
The
.I len
argument is the length of the
.I namep
buffer in bytes.
If
.I namep
is too short to hold the file name,
.I log_file
will return ENOMEM.
Note, as described above,
log file names are quite short,
on the order of 10 characters.
.PP
.Rt log_file
.PP
.Fn log_put
The
.I log_put
function appends records to the log.
The DB_LSN of the put record is returned in the
.I lsn
parameter.
The
.I flags
parameter may be set to one of the following values:
.TP 5
DB_CHECKPOINT
The log should write a checkpoint record, recording any information
necessary to make the log structures recoverable after a crash.
.TP 5
DB_FLUSH
The log is forced to disk after this record is written, guaranteeing
that all records with DB_LSNs less than or equal to the one being put
are on disk
before this function returns (this function is most often used for
a transaction commit, see
.IR db_txn (3)).
.PP
The caller is responsible for providing any necessary structure to
.IR data .
(For example, in a write-ahead logging protocol, the application must
understand what part of
.I data
is an operation code, what part is redo information, and what part is
undo information.
In addition, most transaction managers will store in
.I data
the DB_LSN of the previous log record for the same transaction,
to support chaining back through the transaction's log records
during undo.)
.PP
.Rt log_put
.PP
.Un "log region" log
.PP
.Fn log_archive
The
.I log_archive
function creates a NULL-terminated array of log or database file names
and copies a pointer to them into the user-specified memory location
.IR list .
.PP
By default,
.I log_archive
returns the names of all of the log files that are no longer in use (e.g.,
no longer involved in active transactions),
and that may be archived for catastrophic recovery and then removed
from the system.
If there were no file names to return,
.I list
will be set to NULL.
.PP
.Ma "Arrays of log file names"
.PP
The
.I flags
argument is specified by
.BR or 'ing
together one or more of the following values:
.TP 5
DB_ARCH_ABS
All pathnames are returned as absolute pathnames,
instead of relative to the database home directory.
.TP 5
DB_ARCH_DATA
Return the database files that need to be archived in order to recover
the database from catastrophic failure.
If any of the database files have not been accessed during the lifetime of
the current log files,
.I log_archive
will not include them in this list.
It is also possible that some of the files referenced in the log have
since been deleted from the system.
.TP 5
DB_ARCH_LOG
Return all the log file names regardless of whether or not they are in
use.
.PP
The DB_ARCH_DATA and DB_ARCH_LOG flags are mutually exclusive.
.PP
.Rt log_archive
.PP
.Uf log_archive db_archive
See the
.IR db_archive (1)
manual page for more information on database archival procedures.
.PP
.Fn log_register
The
.I log_register
function registers a file name with the log manager and copies a file
identification number into the memory location referenced by
.IR fidp .
This file identification number should be used in all subsequent log
messages that refer to operations on this file.
The log manager records all file name to file identification number mappings
at each checkpoint so that a recovery process can identify the file to which
a record in the log refers.
.PP
The
.I log_register
function is called when an access method registers the open of a file.
The
.I dbp
parameter should be a pointer to the DB structure which is being returned
by the access method.
.PP
The
.I type
parameter should be one of the DB types specified in
.IR db_open (3),
e.g., DB_HASH.
.PP
.Rt log_register
.PP
.Fn log_unregister
The
.I log_unregister
function disassociates the file name to file identification number
mapping for the file identification number specified by the
.I fid
parameter.
The file identification number may then be reused.
.PP
.Rt log_unregister
.PP
.Fn log_stat
The
.I log_stat
function creates a statistical structure and copies a pointer to it into
the user-specified memory location.
.PP
.Ma "Statistical structure"
.PP
The log region statistics are stored in a structure of type
DB_LOG_STAT (typedef'd in <db2/db.h>).
The following DB_LOG_STAT fields will be filled in:
.TP 5
u_int32_t st_magic;
The magic number that identifies a file as a log file.
.Nt
u_int32_t st_version;
The version of the log file type.
.Nt
int st_mode;
The mode of any created log files.
.Nt
u_int32_t st_lg_max;
The maximum size of any individual file comprising the log.
.Nt
u_int32_t st_w_mbytes;
The number of megabytes written to this log.
.Nt
u_int32_t st_w_bytes;
The number of bytes over and above
.I st_w_mbytes
written to this log.
.Nt
u_int32_t st_wc_mbytes;
The number of megabytes written to this log since the last checkpoint.
.Nt
u_int32_t st_wc_bytes;
The number of bytes over and above
.I st_wc_mbytes
written to this log since the last checkpoint.
.Nt
u_int32_t st_cur_file;
The current log file number.
.Nt
u_int32_t st_cur_offset;
The byte offset in the current log file.
.Nt
u_int32_t st_region_wait;
The number of times that a thread of control was forced to wait before
obtaining the region lock.
.Nt
u_int32_t st_region_nowait;
The number of times that a thread of control was able to obtain
the region lock without waiting.
