         The database environment's temporary file directory may also be
         configured using the environment's <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file.  The syntax
         of the entry in that file is a single line with the string
         "set_tmp_dir", one or more whitespace characters, and the
         directory name. Because the <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file is read when the
         database environment is opened, it will silently overrule
         configuration done before that time.
