31<b>Description: DbEnv::mutex_stat</b>
32<p>The DbEnv::mutex_stat method returns the mutex subsystem statistics.</p>
33<p>The DbEnv::mutex_stat method creates a statistical structure of type
34DB_MUTEX_STAT and copies a pointer to it into a user-specified memory
35location.</p>
36<p>Statistical structures are stored in allocated memory.  If application-specific allocation
37routines have been declared (see <a href="../api_cxx/env_set_alloc.html">DbEnv::set_alloc</a> for more
38information), they are used to allocate the memory; otherwise, the
39standard C library <b>malloc</b>(3) is used.  The caller is
40responsible for deallocating the memory.  To deallocate the memory, free
41the memory reference; references inside the returned memory need not be
42individually freed.</p>
43<p>The following DB_MUTEX_STAT fields will be filled in:</p>
44<br>
45<b>u_int32_t st_mutex_align;</b><ul compact><li>The mutex alignment, in bytes.</ul>
46<b>u_int32_t st_mutex_tas_spins;</b><ul compact><li>The number of times test-and-set mutexes will spin without blocking.</ul>
47<b>int st_mutex_cnt;</b><ul compact><li>The total number of mutexes configured.</ul>
48<b>u_int32_t st_mutex_free;</b><ul compact><li>The number of mutexes currently available.</ul>
49<b>u_int32_t st_mutex_inuse;</b><ul compact><li>The number of mutexes currently in use.</ul>
50<b>u_int32_t st_mutex_inuse_max;</b><ul compact><li>The maximum number of mutexes ever in use.</ul>
51<b>roff_t st_regsize;</b><ul compact><li>The size of the mutex region, in bytes.</ul>
52<b>u_int32_t st_region_wait;</b><ul compact><li>The number of times that a thread of control was forced to wait before
53obtaining the mutex region mutex.</ul>
54<b>u_int32_t st_region_nowait;</b><ul compact><li>The number of times that a thread of control was able to obtain
55the mutex region mutex without waiting.</ul>
56<br>
57<p>The DbEnv::mutex_stat method may not be called before the <a href="../api_cxx/env_open.html">DbEnv::open</a> method is called.</p>
58<p>The DbEnv::mutex_stat method
59either returns a non-zero error value
60or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
61failure, and returns 0 on success.
62</p>
63<b>Parameters</b> <br>
64 <b>flags</b><ul compact><li>The <b>flags</b> parameter must be set to 0 or
65the following value:
66<br>
67<b><a name="DB_STAT_CLEAR">DB_STAT_CLEAR</a></b><ul compact><li>Reset statistics after returning their values.</ul>
68<br></ul>
69 <b>statp</b><ul compact><li>The <b>statp</b> parameter references memory into which
70a pointer to the allocated statistics structure is copied.</ul> 
71<br>
72<br><b>Errors</b>
73<p>The DbEnv::mutex_stat method
74may fail and throw
75<a href="../api_cxx/except_class.html">DbException</a>,
76encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of
77the following non-zero errors:</p>
78<br>
79<b>EINVAL</b><ul compact><li>An
80invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul>

83<b>Description: DbEnv::mutex_stat_print</b>
84<p>The DbEnv::mutex_stat_print method displays the
85mutex subsystem statistical information, as described for the DbEnv::mutex_stat method.
86The information is printed to a specified output channel (see the
87<a href="../api_cxx/env_set_msgfile.html">DbEnv::set_msgfile</a> method for more information), or passed to an
88application callback function (see the <a href="../api_cxx/env_set_msgcall.html">DbEnv::set_msgcall</a> method for
89more information).</p>
90<p>The DbEnv::mutex_stat_print method may not be called before the <a href="../api_cxx/env_open.html">DbEnv::open</a> method is called.</p>
91<p>The DbEnv::mutex_stat_print method
92either returns a non-zero error value
93or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
94failure, and returns 0 on success.
95</p>
96<b>Parameters</b> <br>
97 <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
98or more of the following values:
99<br>
100<b><a name="DB_STAT_ALL">DB_STAT_ALL</a></b><ul compact><li>Display all available information.</ul>
101<b><a name="DB_STAT_CLEAR">DB_STAT_CLEAR</a></b><ul compact><li>Reset statistics after displaying their values.</ul>
