<h2>
Environment Commands</h2>
Environments provide a structure for creating a consistent environment
for processes using one or more of the features of Berkeley DB.&nbsp; Unlike
some of the database commands, the environment commands are very low level.
<br>
<hr WIDTH="100%">
<p>The user may create and open a new DB environment&nbsp; by invoking:
<p><b>> berkdb env</b>
<br><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [-cdb] [-cdb_alldb] [-lock] [-log] [-txn [nosync]]</b>
<br><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [-create] [-home<i> directory</i>] [-mode <i>mode</i>]</b>

call.  This site's machine ID is set to <b><i>machineid</i></b> and
the send function, a Tcl proc, is set to <b><i>sendproc</i></b>.</li>

</ul>

This command will invoke the <a href="../../docs/api_c/env_create.html">db_env_create</a>
function.&nbsp; After it successfully gets a handle to an environment,
we bind it to a new Tcl command of the form <b><i>envX</i></b>, where X
is an integer starting at&nbsp; 0 (e.g. <b>env0, env1, </b>etc).&nbsp;
We use the <i>Tcl_CreateObjCommand()</i> to create the top level environment
command function.&nbsp; It is through this handle that the user can access
all the commands described in the <a href="#Environment Commands">Environment
Commands</a> section.&nbsp; Internally, the handle we get back from DB
will be stored as the <i>ClientData</i> portion of the new command set
so that all future environment calls will have that handle readily available.&nbsp;
Then we call the <a href="../../docs/api_c/env_open.html">DBENV->open</a>
method call and possibly some number of setup calls as described above.
<p>
<hr WIDTH="100%">
<br><a NAME="> <env> verbose which on|off"></a><b>> &lt;env> verbose <i>which</i>
on|off</b>
<p>This command controls the use of debugging output for the environment.&nbsp;
This command directly translates to a call to the <a href="../../docs/api_c/dbenv_set_verbose.html">DBENV->set_verbose</a>
method call.&nbsp; It returns either a 0 (for success), a DB error message
or it throws a Tcl error with a system message.&nbsp; The user specifies
<b><i>which</i></b>
subsystem to control, and indicates whether debug messages should be turned
<b>on</b>
or <b>off</b> for that subsystem.&nbsp; The value of <b><i>which</i></b>
must be one of the following:
<ul>
<li>
<b>chkpt</b> - Chooses the checkpointing code by using the DB_VERB_CHKPOINT
value</li>

<li>
<b>deadlock </b>- Chooses the deadlocking code by using the DB_VERB_DEADLOCK
value</li>

<li>
<b>recovery </b>- Chooses the recovery code by using the DB_VERB_RECOVERY
value</li>

<li>
<b>wait </b>- Chooses the waitsfor code by using the DB_VERB_WAITSFOR value</li>
</ul>

<hr WIDTH="100%">
<p><a NAME="> <env> close"></a><b>> &lt;env> close</b>
<p>This command closes an environment and deletes the handle.&nbsp; This
command directly translates to a call to the <a href="../../docs/api_c/env_close.html">DBENV->close</a>
method call.&nbsp; It returns either a 0 (for success), a DB error message
or it throws a Tcl error with a system message.
<p>Additionally, since the handle is no longer valid, we will call <i>Tcl_DeleteCommand()
</i>so
that further uses of the handle will be dealt with properly by Tcl itself.
<p>Also, the close command will automatically abort any <a href="txn.html">transactions</a>
and close any <a href="mpool.html">mpool</a> memory files.&nbsp; As such
we must maintain a list of open transaction and mpool handles so that we
can call <i>Tcl_DeleteCommand</i> on those as well.
<p>

<p>This command removes the environment if it is not in use and deletes
