<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The DB library is a family of classes that provides a
modular programming interface to transactions and record-
oriented file access. The library includes support for
transactions, locking, logging and file page caching, as
well as various indexed access methods. Many of the
classes (e.g., the file page caching class) are useful
independent of the other DB classes, although some classes
are explicitly based on other classes (e.g., transactions
and logging). For a general description of the DB
package, see <B><A HREF="db_intro.html">db_intro(3)</A></B>.
This manual page describes the specific details of the
locking interface. The DbLock class is used in
conjunction with <B><A HREF="DbLockTab.html">DbLockTab(3)</A></B> to provide general-purpose
locking. While designed to work with the other Db
classes, these classes are also useful for more general
locking purposes. Locks can be shared between processes.
In most cases, when multiple threads or processes are
using locking, the deadlock detector, <B><A HREF="db_deadlock.html">db_deadlock(1)</A></B>,
should be run.
DbLock::put
The DbLock::put method is a simple interface to the
DbLockTab::vec functionality, and is equivalent to calling
the DbLockTab::vec method with a single element list
array, for which the op field is DB_LOCK_PUT and the lock
field is represented by the DbLock object. The
DbLock::put method returns success and failure as
described for the DbLockTab::vec method.
DbLock::get_lock_id
The DbLock::get_lock_id method gets the underlying
representation of the lock id. Direct manipulation of the
underlying representation is not recommended.
DbLock::set_lock_id
The DbLock::set_lock_id method sets the underlying
representation of the lock id. Direct manipulation of the
underlying representation is not recommended. Rather,
DbLockTab::get should be used to initialize locks (see
<B><A HREF="DbLockTab.html">DbLockTab(3)</A></B>), and the copy constructor and assignment
operators can be used to assign to other DbLock objects.
</PRE>
<H2>ERRORS</H2><PRE>
Methods marked as returning errno will, by default, throw
an exception that encapsulates the error information. The
default error behavior can be changed, see <B><A HREF="DbException.html">DbException(3)</A></B>.
The DbLock::put method may fail and throw a <B><A HREF="DbException.html">DbException(3)</A></B>
or return errno for any of the errors specified for the
following DB and library functions: <B><A HREF="DbLock.html">DbLock::detect(3)</A></B>,
<B>fcntl(2)</B>, <B>fflush(3)</B>, <B>lseek(2)</B>, <B>memcpy(3)</B>, <B>memset(3)</B>,
<B>mmap(2)</B>, <B>munmap(2)</B>, <B>strerror(3)</B>, and <B>write(2)</B>.
In addition, the DbLock::put method may fail and throw a
<B><A HREF="DbException.html">DbException(3)</A></B> or return errno for the following
conditions:
[EACCES]
An attempt was made to release lock held by another
locker.
[EINVAL]
An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
</PRE>
<H2>BUGS</H2><PRE>
If a process dies while holding locks, those locks remain
held and are <B>never</B> released. In this case, all processes
should exit as quickly as possible, so that db_recover can
be run.
