Description: DB_MPOOLFILE->put

The DB_MPOOLFILE->put method returns a page to the cache.

The DB_MPOOLFILE->put method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

Parameters

pgaddr
The pgaddr parameter is the address of the page to be returned to the cache. The pgaddr parameter must be an address previously returned by DB_MPOOLFILE->get.

flags
The flags parameter must be set to 0 or by bitwise inclusively OR'ing together one or more of the following values:

DB_MPOOL_CLEAN
Clear any previously set modification information (that is, don't bother writing the page back to the source file).

DB_MPOOL_DIRTY
The page has been modified and must be written to the source file before being evicted from the pool.

DB_MPOOL_DISCARD
The page is unlikely to be useful in the near future, and should be discarded before other pages in the pool.

The DB_MPOOL_CLEAN and DB_MPOOL_DIRTY flags are mutually exclusive.

Errors

The DB_MPOOLFILE->put method may fail and return one of the following non-zero errors:

EACCES
The DB_MPOOL_DIRTY flag was set and the source file was not opened for writing.

EINVAL
If the pgaddr parameter does not refer to a page returned by DB_MPOOLFILE->get; more than one of the DB_MPOOL_CLEAN and DB_MPOOL_DIRTY flags was set; or if an invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
