### DB_MPOOLFILE->get |

`

###

    #include <db.h>

    int
    DB_MPOOLFILE->get(DB_MPOOLFILE *mpf,
        db_pgno_t *pgnoaddr, u_int32_t flags, void **pagep);

### Description: DB_MPOOLFILE->get

The DB_MPOOLFILE->get method returns pages from the cache.

All pages returned by DB_MPOOLFILE->get will be retained (that is, pinned), in the pool until a subsequent call to DB_MPOOLFILE->put.

The returned page is size_t type aligned.

Fully or partially created pages have all their bytes set to a nul byte, unless the DB_MPOOLFILE->set_clear_len method was called to specify other behavior before the file was opened.

The DB_MPOOLFILE->get method will return DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND if the requested page does not exist and DB_MPOOL_CREATE was not set. Unless otherwise specified, the DB_MPOOLFILE->get method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

### Parameters

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_CREATE
    If the specified page does not exist, create it. In this case, the pgin method, if specified, is called.
  DB_MPOOL_LAST
    Return the last page of the source file, and copy its page number into the memory location to which pgnoaddr refers.
  DB_MPOOL_NEW
    Create a new page in the file, and copy its page number into the memory location to which pgnoaddr refers. In this case, the pgin method, if specified, is not called.

  The DB_MPOOL_CREATE, DB_MPOOL_LAST, and DB_MPOOL_NEW flags are mutually exclusive.

pagep
  The pagep parameter references memory into which a pointer to the returned page is copied.
pgnoaddr
  If the flags parameter is set to DB_MPOOL_LAST or DB_MPOOL_NEW, the page number of the created page is copied into the memory location to which the pgnoaddr parameter refers. Otherwise, the pgnoaddr parameter is the page to create or retrieve.

  Page numbers begin at 0; that is, the first page in the file is page number 0, not page number 1.

### Errors

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

EAGAIN
  The page reference count has overflowed. (This should never happen unless there is a bug in the application.)

EINVAL
  If the DB_MPOOL_NEW flag was set, and the source file was not opened for writing; more than one of DB_MPOOL_CREATE, DB_MPOOL_LAST, and DB_MPOOL_NEW was set; or if an invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

ENOMEM
  The cache is full, and no more pages will fit in the pool.
