<h3><pre>
#include &lt;db.h&gt;
<p>
int
db_env_set_region_init(int region_init);
</pre></h3>
<h1>Description</h1>
<p>Page-fault shared regions into memory when initially creating or joining
a Berkeley DB environment. In some applications, the expense of page-faulting
the shared memory regions can affect performance, e.g., when the
page-fault occurs while holding a lock, other lock requests can convoy
and overall throughput may decrease. Setting <b>region_init</b> to a
non-zero value specifies that shared regions be read or written, as
appropriate, when the region is joined by the application. This forces
the underlying virtual memory and file systems to instantiate both the
necessary memory and the necessary disk space. This can also avoid
out-of-disk space failures later on.
<p>The db_env_set_region_init interface affects the entire application, not a single
database or database environment.
<p>While the db_env_set_region_init interface may be used to configure Berkeley DB at any time
during the life of the application, it should normally be called before
making any calls to the <a href="../api_c/env_create.html">db_env_create</a> or <a href="../api_c/db_create.html">db_create</a> functions.
<p>The db_env_set_region_init function returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
<p>The database environment's initial behavior with respect to shared memory regions may also be set using the environment's
<b>DB_CONFIG</b> file. The syntax of the entry in that file is a
single line with the string "set_region_init", one or more whitespace characters,
and the string "1". Because the <b>DB_CONFIG</b> file is read when the database
environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done
before that time.
