<h3>Description: DB_ENV->failchk</h3>
<p>The DB_ENV->failchk method checks for threads of control (either a true
thread or a process) that have exited while manipulating Berkeley DB library
data structures, while holding a logical database lock, or with an
unresolved transaction (that is, a transaction that was never aborted
or committed). For more information, see <a href="../ref/cam/app.html">Architecting Data Store and Concurrent Data Store applications</a>, and
<a href="../ref/transapp/app.html">Architecting Transactional Data Store
applications</a>.</p>
<p>The DB_ENV->failchk method is based on the "thread_id" and "is_alive"
functions specified to the <a href="../api_c/env_set_thread_id.html">DB_ENV->set_thread_id</a> method. Applications
calling the DB_ENV->failchk method must have already called
<a href="../api_c/env_set_isalive.html">DB_ENV->set_isalive</a>, on the same <a href="../api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a>.</p>
<p>If DB_ENV->failchk determines a thread of control exited while
holding database read locks, it will release those locks. If
DB_ENV->failchk determines a thread of control exited with an
unresolved transaction, the transaction will be aborted. In either of
these cases, DB_ENV->failchk will return 0 and the application may
continue to use the database environment.</p>
<p>In either of these cases, the DB_ENV->failchk method will also report
the process and thread IDs associated with any released locks or
aborted transactions. The information is printed to a specified output
channel (see the <a href="../api_c/env_set_msgfile.html">DB_ENV->set_msgfile</a> method for more information), or
passed to an application callback function (see the
<a href="../api_c/env_set_msgcall.html">DB_ENV->set_msgcall</a> method for more information).</p>
<p>If DB_ENV->failchk determines a thread of control has exited such
that database environment recovery is required, it will return
<a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_RUNRECOVERY">DB_RUNRECOVERY</a>. In this case, the application should not
continue to use the database environment. For a further description as
to the actions the application should take when this failure occurs, see
<a href="../ref/cam/fail.html">Handling failure in Data Store and
Concurrent Data Store applications</a>, and
<a href="../ref/transapp/fail.html">Handling failure in Transactional
Data Store applications</a>.</p>
<p>The DB_ENV->failchk method may not be called before the <a href="../api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a> method has
been called.</p>
<p>The DB_ENV->failchk method
returns a non-zero error value on failure
and 0 on success.
