<h1>Description</h1>
<p>The DBENV-&gt;err, DBENV-&gt;errx,  DB-&gt;err and
DB-&gt;errx functions provide error messaging functionality for
applications written using the Berkeley DB library.
<p>The DBENV-&gt;err function constructs an error message consisting of the
following elements:
<p><blockquote><p><dl compact>
<p><dt>An optional prefix string<dd>If no error callback function has been set using the
<a href="../api_c/env_set_errcall.html">DBENV-&gt;set_errcall</a> function, any prefix string specified using the
<a href="../api_c/env_set_errpfx.html">DBENV-&gt;set_errpfx</a> function, followed by two separating characters: a colon
and a &lt;space&gt; character.
<p><dt>An optional printf-style message<dd>The supplied message <b>fmt</b>, if non-NULL, where the ANSI C X3.159-1989 (ANSI C)
printf function specifies how subsequent arguments are converted for
output.
<p><dt>A separator<dd>Two separating characters: a colon and a &lt;space&gt; character.
<p><dt>A standard error string<dd>The standard system or Berkeley DB library error string associated with the
<b>error</b> value, as returned by the <a href="../api_c/env_strerror.html">db_strerror</a> function.
</dl>
</blockquote>
<p>This constructed error message is then handled as follows:
<p><blockquote>
<p>If an error callback function has been set (see <a href="../api_c/db_set_errcall.html">DB-&gt;set_errcall</a>
and <a href="../api_c/env_set_errcall.html">DBENV-&gt;set_errcall</a>), that function is called with two
arguments: any prefix string specified (see <a href="../api_c/db_set_errpfx.html">DB-&gt;set_errpfx</a> and
<a href="../api_c/env_set_errpfx.html">DBENV-&gt;set_errpfx</a>), and the error message.
<p>If a C library FILE * has been set (see <a href="../api_c/db_set_errfile.html">DB-&gt;set_errfile</a> and
<a href="../api_c/env_set_errfile.html">DBENV-&gt;set_errfile</a>), the error message is written to that output
stream.
<p>If none of these output options has been configured, the error message
is written to stderr, the standard error output stream.</blockquote>
<p>The DBENV-&gt;errx and DB-&gt;errx functions perform identically to the
DBENV-&gt;err and DB-&gt;err functions except that they do not append
the final separator characters and standard error string to the error
message.
