<h1 align=center>Handles</h1>
<p>With a few minor exceptions, Berkeley DB functionality is accessed by creating
a structure and then calling functions that are fields in that structure.
This is, of course, similar to object-oriented concepts, of instances and
methods on them.  For simplicity, we will often refer to these structure
fields as methods of the handle.
<p>The manual pages will show these methods as C structure references.  For
example, the open-a-database method for a database handle is represented
as <a href="../../api_c/db_open.html">DB-&gt;open</a>.
