31<b>Description: DB_ENV-&gt;set_encrypt</b>
32<p>Set the password used by the Berkeley DB library to perform encryption and
33decryption.</p>
34<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;set_encrypt method configures a database environment, not only operations
35performed using the specified <a href="/api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> handle.</p>
36<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;set_encrypt method may not be called after the <a href="/api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV-&gt;open</a> method is
37called.
38If the database environment already exists when
39<a href="/api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV-&gt;open</a> is called, the information specified to DB_ENV-&gt;set_encrypt
40must be consistent with the existing environment or an error will be
41returned.
42</p>
43<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;set_encrypt method
44returns a non-zero error value on failure
45and 0 on success.
46</p>
47<b>Parameters</b> <br>
48 <b>flags</b><ul compact><li>The <b>flags</b> parameter must be set to 0 or
49the following value:
50<br>
51<b><a name="DB_ENCRYPT_AES">DB_ENCRYPT_AES</a></b><ul compact><li>Use the Rijndael/AES (also known as the Advanced Encryption Standard
52and Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 197) algorithm for
53encryption or decryption.</ul>
54<br></ul>
55 <b>passwd</b><ul compact><li>The <b>passwd</b> parameter is the password used to perform encryption
56and decryption.</ul>
57<br>
58<br><b>Errors</b>

60may fail and return one of the following non-zero errors:</p>
61<br>

63<a href="/api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV-&gt;open</a>
64was called; or if an
65invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul>
66<br>
67<br>
68<b>EOPNOTSUPP</b><ul compact><li>Cryptography is not available in this Berkeley DB release.</ul>
69<br>
70<hr size=1 noshade>
71<b>Description: DB_ENV-&gt;get_encrypt_flags</b>
72<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;get_encrypt_flags method returns the encryption flags.</p>
73<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;get_encrypt_flags method may be called at any time during the life of the
74application.</p>
75<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;get_encrypt_flags method
76returns a non-zero error value on failure
77and 0 on success.
78</p>
79<b>Parameters</b> <br>
80 <b>flagsp</b><ul compact><li>The DB_ENV-&gt;get_encrypt_flags method returns  the
81encryption flags in <b>flagsp</b>.</ul>
