+<h1>Description</h1>
+<p>Set the Btree prefix function. The prefix function must return the
+number of bytes of the second key argument that would be required by
+the Btree key comparison function to determine the second key argument's
+ordering relationship with respect to the first key argument. If the
+two keys are equal, the key length should be returned. The prefix
+function must correctly handle any key values used by the application
+(possibly including zero-length keys). The <b>data</b> and
+<b>size</b> fields of the <a href="../api_java/dbt_class.html">Dbt</a> are the only fields that may be
+used for the purposes of this determination.
+<p>The prefix function is used to determine the amount by which keys stored
+on the Btree internal pages can be safely truncated without losing their
+uniqueness. See the <a href="../ref/am_conf/bt_prefix.html">Btree
+prefix comparison</a> section of the Reference Guide for more details about
+how this works. The usefulness of this is data dependent, but in some
+data sets can produce significantly reduced tree sizes and search times.
+<p>If no prefix function or key comparison function is specified by the
+application, a default lexical comparison function is used as the prefix
+function. If no prefix function is specified and a key comparison
+function is specified, no prefix function is used. It is an error to
+specify a prefix function without also specifying a key comparison
+function.
+<p>The Db.set_bt_prefix interface may only be used to configure Berkeley DB before
+the <a href="../api_java/db_open.html">Db.open</a> interface is called.
+<p>The Db.set_bt_prefix method throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
+failure.
