# DbEnv::set_panicstate

###

    #include <db_cxx.h>

    static int
    DbEnv::set_panicstate(int panic);

# Description

Toggle the Berkeley DB panic state. Setting panic to a non-zero value causes Berkeley DB to refuse attempts to call Berkeley DB functions with the DB_RUNRECOVERY error return.

The DbEnv::set_panicstate interface affects the entire application, not a single database or database environment.

The DbEnv::set_pageyield interface may be used to configure Berkeley DB at any time during the life of the application.

The DbEnv::set_panicstate method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.

# Errors

The DbEnv::set_panicstate method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for the following conditions:

EINVAL
  An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

The DbEnv::set_panicstate method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods. If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DbEnv::set_panicstate method may fail and either return DB_RUNRECOVERY or throw an exception encapsulating DB_RUNRECOVERY, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way.
