31<b>Description: DbEnv::set_mp_max_openfd</b>
32<p>The DbEnv::set_mp_max_openfd method limits the number of file descriptors
33the library will open concurrently when flushing dirty pages from the
34cache.</p>
35<p>The database environment's limit on open file descriptors to flush dirty pages may also be configured using the
36environment's <a href="../ref/env/db_config.html#DB_CONFIG">DB_CONFIG</a> file.  The syntax of the entry in that
37file is a single line with the string "set_max_openfd", one or more whitespace
38characters, and the number of open file descriptors.
39Because the <a href="../ref/env/db_config.html#DB_CONFIG">DB_CONFIG</a> file is read when the database environment
40is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done before that
41time.</p>
42<p>The <a href="../api_cxx/memp_maxwrite.html">DbEnv::set_mp_max_write</a> method configures a database environment, not only operations
43performed using the specified <a href="../api_cxx/env_class.html">DbEnv</a> handle.</p>
44<p>The DbEnv::set_mp_max_openfd method
45either returns a non-zero error value
46or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
47failure, and returns 0 on success.
48</p>
49<b>Parameters</b> <br>
50 <b>maxopenfd</b><ul compact><li>The maximum number of file descriptors that may be concurrently opened
51by the library when flushing dirty pages from the cache.</ul>
52<br>
53<br><b>Errors</b>
54<p>The DbEnv::set_mp_max_openfd method
55may fail and throw
56<a href="../api_cxx/except_class.html">DbException</a>,
57encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of
58the following non-zero errors:</p>
59<br>
60<b>EINVAL</b><ul compact><li>An
61invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul>

63<hr size=1 noshade>
64<b>Description: DbEnv::get_mp_max_openfd</b>
65<p>The DbEnv::get_mp_max_openfd method returns the maximum number of file descriptors open.</p>
66<p>The DbEnv::get_mp_max_openfd method may be called at any time during the life of the
67application.</p>
68<p>The DbEnv::get_mp_max_openfd method
69either returns a non-zero error value
70or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
71failure, and returns 0 on success.
