      <p>
        The <span class="command"><strong>db_codegen</strong></span> utility generates application code to create and configure
        Berkeley DB database environments and databases based on a simple description language, and
        writes it to one or more output files. The generated code may need modification, in the case
        of complicated applications, but will usually significantly reduce the time required to
        create Berkeley DB applications.
    </p>
      <p>
        The options are as follows:
    </p>
      <div class="itemizedlist">
        <ul type="disc">
          <li>

            </p>
            <p>
                Generate code for the specified API ("c" is the default).
            </p>
          </li>
          <li>
            <p>
                <span class="bold"><strong>-i</strong></span>
            </p>
            <p>
                Specify an input file; by default, stdin is used.
            </p>
          </li>
          <li>
            <p>

            </p>
            <p>
                Specify an output file prefix; by default, "application" is used.

          <li>
            <p>
                <span class="bold"><strong>-V</strong></span>
            </p>
            <p>
                Write the library version number to the standard output, and exit.

                Run in verbose mode.
            </p>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </div>
      <p>
        The <span class="command"><strong>db_codegen</strong></span> utility exits 0 on success, and &gt;0 if an error occurs.
    </p>
      <div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
        <div class="titlepage">

          </div>
        </div>
        <p>
            By default, when the <span class="command"><strong>db_codegen</strong></span> utility generates C-language code,
            the output file is named "application.c". The output filename can be specified with
            <span class="bold"><strong>-o</strong></span> option.
        </p>
        <p>
            At the beginning of the output file is a list of public database environment 
            — <a class="link" href="env.html" title="Chapter 5.  The DbEnv Handle">DbEnv</a> — handles and database 
            — <a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2.  The Db Handle">Db</a> — handles, as specified by the description
            language. The database environment handle variables are named "XXX_dbenv", where "XXX"
            is the name of the environment in the input specification. For databases associated with
            a database environment, the database handle variables are named "XXX_YYY", where "XXX"
            is the name of the environment, and "YYY" is the name of the database. For standalone
            databases, the database handle variables are named "XXX", where "XXX" is the name of the
            database.
        </p>
        <p>
            There are two public functions in the output file: <code class="function">bdb_startup</code> and
            <code class="function">bdb_shutdown</code>. The bdb_startup function should be called to create
            and configure the database environments and databases, and the bdb_shutdown function
            should be called to gracefully shut down the environments and databases.
        </p>

            The <span class="command"><strong>db_codegen</strong></span> utility uses a simple description language:

        <div class="itemizedlist">
          <ul type="disc">
            <li>
              <p>
                    Lines in the input consist of white-space separated tokens.
                </p>
            </li>
            <li>
              <p>
                    Tokens are case-insensitive. 
                </p>
            </li>
            <li>
              <p>
                    Empty lines, and lines where the first non-space character is hash mark ("#")
                    are ignored. In addition, hash marks may appear in lines, in which case the
                    content of the line from the hash mark to the end of the line is ignored. 
                </p>
            </li>
          </ul>
        </div>
        <p>
            There are two top-level objects: "environment" and "database", which correspond to
            database environments and databases, respectively. These top-level objects can be
            associated with keywords to describe their configuration and relationships.
        </p>
        <p>
            For example, the following input would create two standalone databases:
        </p>
        <pre class="programlisting">    database data_one {
        type btree
    }
    database data_two {
        type btree
    } </pre>
        <p>
            In this case, there would be no <a class="link" href="env.html" title="Chapter 5.  The DbEnv Handle">DbEnv</a> handle, and 
            the public <a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2.  The Db Handle">Db</a> handles would be:
        </p>
        <pre class="programlisting">            DB      *data_one;
            DB      *data_two; </pre>
        <p>
            For example, the following input would create a database environment which contains
            three databases:
        </p>
        <pre class="programlisting">    environment myenv {
        database data_one {
            type btree
        }
        database data_two {
            type btree
        }
        database data_three {
            type btree
        }
    } </pre>
        <p>
            In this case, the public <a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2.  The Db Handle">Db</a> handles would be:
        </p>
        <pre class="programlisting">    DB_ENV  *myenv_dbenv;
    DB      *myenv_data_one;
    DB      *myenv_data_two;
    DB      *myenv_data_three; </pre>
        <p>
            A variety of keywords can be specified for the databases and the environments. For
            example, the cache size can be specified for the database environment, and the page size
            can be specified for the database, as well as secondary relationships:
        </p>
        <pre class="programlisting">    environment myenv {
        cachesize 2 0 10
        database data_one {
            type btree
            pagesize 1024
        }
        database data_two {
            primary data_one
            secondary_offset 10 15
            type btree
            pagesize 32768
        }
        database data_three {
            type btree
            pagesize 512
        }
    } </pre>

      <div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

            <li>

                </p>
              <p>
                    There must be three tokens on the line: the keyword, the name of the environment
                    and an opening brace (<code class="literal">{</code>).
                </p>

              <p>
                    Specify the database environment home directory.
