All of the functionality implemented for these utilities is also available -as part of the standard Berkeley DB API. This means that threaded applications -can easily create a thread that calls the same Berkeley DB functions as do the -utilities. This often simplifies an application environment by removing -the necessity for multiple processes to negotiate database and database -environment creation and shut down.
