DB->set_h_nelem

APIRef

#include <db.h>

int DB->set_h_nelem(DB *db, u_int32_t h_nelem);

Description

Set an estimate of the final size of the hash table.

If not set or set too low, hash tables will still expand gracefully as keys are entered, although a slight performance degradation may be noticed.

The DB->set_h_nelem interface may be used only to configure Berkeley DB before the DB->open interface is called.

The DB->set_h_nelem function returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

Errors

The DB->set_h_nelem function may fail and return a non-zero error for the following conditions:

EINVAL
An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

Called after DB->open was called.

The DB->set_h_nelem function may fail and return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system functions. If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DB->set_h_nelem function may fail and return DB_RUNRECOVERY, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way.
