30<b>Description: DB-&gt;set_feedback</b>
31<p>Some operations performed by the Berkeley DB library can take non-trivial
32amounts of time.  The DB-&gt;set_feedback method can be used by applications
33to monitor progress within these operations.  When an operation is
34likely to take a long time, Berkeley DB will call the specified callback
35function with progress information.</p>
36<p>It is up to the callback function to display this information in an
37appropriate manner.</p>
38<p>The DB-&gt;set_feedback method may be called at any time during the life of the
39application.</p>
40<p>The DB-&gt;set_feedback method
41returns a non-zero error value on failure
42and 0 on success.
43</p>
44<b>Parameters</b> <br>
45 <b>db_feedback_fcn</b><ul compact><li>The <b>db_feedback_fcn</b> parameter is the application-specified
46feedback function called to report Berkeley DB operation progress.  The
47callback function must take three parameters:
48<br>
49<b><b>db</b></b><ul compact><li>The <b>db</b> parameter is a reference to the enclosing database.</ul>
50<b><b>opcode</b></b><ul compact><li>The <b>opcode</b> parameter is an operation code.  The <b>opcode</b>
51parameter may take on any of the following values:
52<br>
53<b><a name="DB_UPGRADE">DB_UPGRADE</a></b><ul compact><li>The underlying database is being upgraded.</ul>
54<b><a name="DB_VERIFY">DB_VERIFY</a></b><ul compact><li>The underlying database is being verified.</ul>
55<br></ul>
56<b><b>percent</b></b><ul compact><li>The <b>percent</b> parameter is the percent of the operation that has
57been completed, specified as an integer value between 0 and 100.</ul>
58<br></ul>
59<p>Berkeley DB is not re-entrant.  Callback functions should not attempt to make
60library calls (for example, to release locks or close open handles).
61Re-entering Berkeley DB is not guaranteed to work correctly, and the results
62are undefined.</p>
