         The <span class="command"><strong>db_replicate</strong></span> utility is a daemon process
         that provides replication/HA services on a transactional
         environment. This utility enables you to upgrade an existing
         Transactional Data Store application to an HA application with
         minor modifications.  For more information on the db_replicate
         utility, see the 
         <a href="../../programmer_reference/rep_replicate.html" class="olink">Running Replication Using the db_replicate Utility </a> 
         section in the <span class="emphasis"><em>Berkeley DB Programmer's Reference Guide.</em></span>

                are not able to overwrite the memory containing the command-line arguments.

         The <span class="command"><strong>db_replicate</strong></span> utility uses a Berkeley DB
         environment (as described for the 
         <span class="bold"><strong>-h</strong></span> option, the environment variable
         <span class="bold"><strong>DB_HOME</strong></span>, or because the utility
         was run in a directory containing a Berkeley DB environment).  In
         order to avoid environment corruption when using a Berkeley DB
         environment, <span class="command"><strong>db_replicate</strong></span> should always be
         given the chance to detach from the environment and exit
         gracefully.  To cause <span class="command"><strong>db_replicate</strong></span> to release
         all environment resources and exit cleanly, send it an interrupt
         signal (SIGINT).
    </p>
      <p>
         The <span class="command"><strong>db_replicate</strong></span> utility does not attempt to
         create the Berkeley DB shared memory regions if they do not
         already exist.  The application that creates the region should be
         started first, and once the region is created, the
         <span class="command"><strong>db_replicate</strong></span> utility should be started.  The
         application must use the 
         <a class="xref" href="envopen.html#envopen_DB_INIT_REP">
                        <code class="literal">DB_INIT_REP</code>
                    </a> 
         and <a class="xref" href="envopen.html#envopen_DB_THREAD">
                            <code class="literal">DB_THREAD</code>
                        </a> 
         flags when creating the environment.
    </p>
      <p>
         The <span class="command"><strong>db_replicate</strong></span> utility exits 0 on success,
         and &gt;0 if an error occurs.
