    #include <db.h>

    int
    DB_ENV->set_lg_bsize(DB_ENV *dbenv, u_int32_t lg_bsize);

    int
    DB_ENV->get_lg_bsize(DB_ENV *dbenv, u_int32_t *lg_bsizep);

### Description: DB_ENV->set_lg_bsize

Set the size of the in-memory log buffer, in bytes. By default, or if the value is set to 0, a size of 32K is used. The size of the log file (see DB_ENV->set_lg_max) must be at least four times the size of the in-memory log buffer.

Log information is stored in-memory until the storage space fills up or transaction commit forces the information to be flushed to stable storage. In the presence of long-running transactions or transactions producing large amounts of data, larger buffer sizes can increase throughput.

The database environment's log buffer size may also be set using the environment's DB_CONFIG file. The syntax of the entry in that file is a single line with the string "set_lg_bsize", one or more whitespace characters, and the size in bytes. Because the DB_CONFIG file is read when the database environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done before that time.

The DB_ENV->set_lg_bsize method configures a database environment, not only operations performed using the specified DB_ENV handle.

The DB_ENV->set_lg_bsize method may not be called after the DB_ENV->open method is called. If the database environment already exists when DB_ENV->open is called, the information specified to DB_ENV->set_lg_bsize will be ignored.

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

### Parameters

lg_bsize
  The lg_bsize parameter is the size of the in-memory log buffer, in bytes.

### Errors

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

EINVAL
  If the method was called after DB_ENV->open was called; The size of the log file is less than four times the size of the in-memory log buffer; or if an invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

### Description: DB_ENV->get_lg_bsize

The DB_ENV->get_lg_bsize method returns the size of the log buffer, in bytes.

The DB_ENV->get_lg_bsize method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

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

### Parameters

lg_bsizep
  The DB_ENV->get_lg_bsize method returns the size of the log buffer, in bytes in lg_bsizep.

### Class

DB_ENV, DB_LOGC, DB_LSN
