<h1>Description</h1>
<p>When an error occurs in the Berkeley DB library, a Berkeley DB error or an error
return value is returned by the function. In some cases, however,
the <b>errno</b> value may be insufficient to completely describe
the cause of the error, especially during initial application debugging.
<p>The DB_ENV->set_errcall and <a href="../api_c/db_set_errcall.html">DB->set_errcall</a> methods are used to
enhance the mechanism for reporting error messages to the application.
In some cases, when an error occurs, Berkeley DB will call
<b>db_errcall_fcn</b> with additional error information. The function
must be declared with two arguments; the first will be the prefix string
(as previously set by <a href="../api_c/db_set_errpfx.html">DB->set_errpfx</a> or <a href="../api_c/env_set_errpfx.html">DB_ENV->set_errpfx</a>);
the second will be the error message string. It is up to the
<b>db_errcall_fcn</b> function to display the error message in an
appropriate manner.
<p>Alternatively, you can use the <a href="../api_c/db_set_errfile.html">DB->set_errfile</a> or
<a href="../api_c/env_set_errfile.html">DB_ENV->set_errfile</a> methods to display the additional information via
a C library FILE *.
<p>This error-logging enhancement does not slow performance or significantly
increase application size, and may be run during normal operation as well
as during application debugging.
<p>The DB_ENV->set_errcall interface may be called at any time during the life of
the application.
