29<b>Description: DbMpoolFile::get</b>
30<p>The DbMpoolFile::get method returns pages from the cache.</p>
31<p>All pages returned by DbMpoolFile::get will be retained (that is,
32<i>pinned</i>), in the pool until a subsequent call to
33<a href="../api_cxx/memp_fput.html">DbMpoolFile::put</a>.</p>
34<p>The returned page is <b>size_t</b> type aligned.</p>
35<p>Fully or partially created pages have all their bytes set to a nul byte,
36unless the <a href="../api_cxx/memp_set_clear_len.html">DbMpoolFile::set_clear_len</a> method was called to specify other
37behavior before the file was opened.</p>
38<a name="2"><!--meow--></a>
39<p>The DbMpoolFile::get method
40will either return DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND or
41throw an exception that encapsulates DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND if the requested page does not exist and DB_MPOOL_CREATE was
42not set.
43Unless otherwise specified, the DbMpoolFile::get method
44either returns a non-zero error value
45or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
46failure, and returns 0 on success.
47</p>
48<b>Parameters</b> <br>
49 <b>flags</b><ul compact><li>The <b>flags</b> parameter must be set to 0 or by bitwise inclusively <b>OR</b>'ing together one
50or more of the following values:
51<br>
52<b><a name="DB_MPOOL_CREATE">DB_MPOOL_CREATE</a></b><ul compact><li>If the specified page does not exist, create it.  In this case, the
53<a href="memp_register.html#pgin">pgin</a> method, if specified, is
54called.</ul>
55<b><a name="DB_MPOOL_DIRTY">DB_MPOOL_DIRTY</a></b><ul compact><li>The page will be modified and must be written to the source file before
56being evicted from the pool.  For files open with the
57<a href="../api_cxx/db_open.html#DB_MULTIVERSION">DB_MULTIVERSION</a> flag set, a new copy of the page will be made
58if this is the first time the specified transaction is modifying it.</ul>
59<b><a name="DB_MPOOL_EDIT">DB_MPOOL_EDIT</a></b><ul compact><li>The page will be modified and must be written to the source file before
60being evicted from the pool.  No copy of the page will be made, regardless
61of the <a href="../api_cxx/db_open.html#DB_MULTIVERSION">DB_MULTIVERSION</a> setting.  This flag is only intended for
62use in situations where a transaction handle is not available, such as during
63aborts or recovery.</ul>
64<b><a name="DB_MPOOL_LAST">DB_MPOOL_LAST</a></b><ul compact><li>Return the last page of the source file, and copy its page number into
65the memory location to which <b>pgnoaddr</b> refers.</ul>
66<b><a name="DB_MPOOL_NEW">DB_MPOOL_NEW</a></b><ul compact><li>Create a new page in the file, and copy its page number into the memory
67location to which <b>pgnoaddr</b> refers.  In this case, the
68<a href="memp_register.html#pgin">pgin</a> method, if specified, is
69<b>not</b> called.</ul>
70<br>
71<p>The DB_MPOOL_CREATE, DB_MPOOL_LAST, and
72DB_MPOOL_NEW flags are mutually exclusive.</p></ul>
73 <b>pagep</b><ul compact><li>The <b>pagep</b> parameter references memory into which
74a pointer to the returned page is copied.</ul> 
75 <b>pgnoaddr</b><ul compact><li>If the <b>flags</b> parameter is set to DB_MPOOL_LAST or
76DB_MPOOL_NEW, the page number of the created page is copied
77into the memory location to which the <b>pgnoaddr</b> parameter
78refers.  Otherwise, the <b>pgnoaddr</b> parameter is the page to
79create or retrieve.
80<p><b>Page numbers begin at 0; that is, the first page in the file is page
81number 0, not page number 1.</b></p></ul>
82 <b>txnid</b><ul compact><li>If the operation is part of an application-specified
83transaction, the <b>txnid</b> parameter is a transaction handle
84returned from <a href="../api_cxx/txn_begin.html">DbEnv::txn_begin</a>; otherwise NULL.  A transaction is
85required if the file is open for multiversion concurrency control by
86passing <a href="../api_cxx/db_open.html#DB_MULTIVERSION">DB_MULTIVERSION</a> to <a href="../api_cxx/memp_fopen.html">DbMpoolFile::open</a> and the
87DB_MPOOL_DIRTY, DB_MPOOL_CREATE or
88DB_MPOOL_NEW flags were specified.  Otherwise it is ignored.</ul>
89<br>
90<br><b>Errors</b>
91<p>The DbMpoolFile::get method
92may fail and throw
93<a href="../api_cxx/except_class.html">DbException</a>,
94encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of
95the following non-zero errors:</p>
96<br>
97<b>EACCES</b><ul compact><li>The DB_MPOOL_DIRTY or DB_MPOOL_EDIT flag was set and
98the source file was not opened for writing.</ul>
99<br>
100<br>
101<b>EAGAIN</b><ul compact><li>The page reference count has overflowed.  (This should never happen
102unless there is a bug in the application.)</ul>
103<br>
104<br>
105<b>EINVAL</b><ul compact><li>If the DB_MPOOL_NEW flag was set, and the source file was not
106opened for writing;
107more than one of DB_MPOOL_CREATE, DB_MPOOL_LAST, and
108DB_MPOOL_NEW was set.; or if an
109invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul>
110<br>
111<br>
112<b>DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK</b><ul compact><li>For transactions configured with <a href="../api_cxx/txn_begin.html#DB_TXN_SNAPSHOT">DB_TXN_SNAPSHOT</a>, the page has
113been modified since the transaction began.</ul>
114<br>
115<p>If the cache is full, and no more pages will fit in the pool, the DbMpoolFile::get method will fail and
116either return ENOMEM or
117throw a DbMemoryException.</p>
