DbEnv::set_timeout(db_timeout_t timeout, u_int32_t flags);
</pre></h3>
<h1>Description</h1>
<p>The DbEnv::set_timeout method sets timeout values for locks or
transactions in the database environment.  The timeout value is
currently specified as an unsigned 32-bit number of microseconds,
limiting the maximum timeout to roughly 71 minutes.
<p>The <b>flags</b> value must be set to one of the following values:
<p><dl compact>
<p><dt><a name="DB_SET_LOCK_TIMEOUT">DB_SET_LOCK_TIMEOUT</a><dd>Set the timeout value for locks in this database environment.
<p>The database environment's transaction timeout value may also be set using the environment's
<b>DB_CONFIG</b> file.  The syntax of the entry in that file is a
single line with the string "set_txn_timeout", one or more whitespace characters,
and the transaction timeout value.  Because the <b>DB_CONFIG</b> file is read when the database
environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done
before that time.
<p><dt><a name="DB_SET_TXN_TIMEOUT">DB_SET_TXN_TIMEOUT</a><dd>Set the timeout value for transactions in this database environment.
<p>The database environment's lock timeout value may also be set using the environment's
<b>DB_CONFIG</b> file.  The syntax of the entry in that file is a
single line with the string "set_lock_timeout", one or more whitespace characters,
and the lock timeout value.  Because the <b>DB_CONFIG</b> file is read when the database
environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done
before that time.
</dl>
<p>Timeouts are checked whenever a thread of control blocks on a lock or
when deadlock detection is performed.  (In the case of
DB_SET_LOCK_TIMEOUT, the lock is one requested explicitly
through the Lock subsystem interfaces.  In the case of
DB_SET_TXN_TIMEOUT, the lock is one requested on behalf of a
transaction.  In either case, it may be a lock requested by the database
access methods underlying the application.)  As timeouts are only
checked when the lock request first blocks or when deadlock detection
is performed, the accuracy of the timeout depends on how often deadlock
detection is performed.
<p>Timeout values specified for the database environment may be overridden
on a per-lock or per-transaction basis.  See <a href="../api_cxx/lock_vec.html">DbEnv::lock_vec</a> and
<a href="../api_cxx/txn_set_timeout.html">DbTxn::set_timeout</a> for more information.
<p>The DbEnv::set_timeout interface may be used only to configure Berkeley DB before
the <a href="../api_cxx/env_open.html">DbEnv::open</a> interface is called.
<p>The DbEnv::set_timeout 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.
<h1>Errors</h1>
<p>The DbEnv::set_timeout method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for the following conditions:
<p><dl compact>
<p><dt>EINVAL<dd>An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
<p>Called after <a href="../api_cxx/env_open.html">DbEnv::open</a> was called.
</dl>
<p>The DbEnv::set_timeout 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_timeout method may fail and either
return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_RUNRECOVERY">DB_RUNRECOVERY</a> or throw an exception encapsulating
<a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_RUNRECOVERY">DB_RUNRECOVERY</a>, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail
in the same way.
