import com.sleepycat.db.*;
<p>
public void log_get(DbLsn lsn, Dbt data, int flags)
	throws DbException;
</pre></h3>
<h1>Description</h1>
<p>The DbEnv.log_get method implements a cursor inside of the log,
retrieving records from the log according to the <b>lsn</b> and
<b>flags</b> arguments.
<p>The data field of the <b>data</b> structure is set to the record
retrieved and the size field indicates the number of bytes in the record.
See <a href="../api_java/dbt_class.html">Dbt</a> for a description of other fields in the <b>data</b>
structure.  When multiple threads are using the returned log handle
concurrently, one of the <a href="../api_java/dbt_class.html#DB_DBT_MALLOC">Db.DB_DBT_MALLOC</a>, <a href="../api_java/dbt_class.html#DB_DBT_REALLOC">Db.DB_DBT_REALLOC</a> or
<a href="../api_java/dbt_class.html#DB_DBT_USERMEM">Db.DB_DBT_USERMEM</a> flags must be specified for any <a href="../api_java/dbt_class.html">Dbt</a> used
for data retrieval.
<p>The <b>flags</b> argument must be set to exactly one of the following values:
<p><dl compact>
<p><dt><a name="Db.DB_CHECKPOINT">Db.DB_CHECKPOINT</a><dd>The last record written with the DB_CHECKPOINT flag specified to the
<a href="../api_java/log_put.html">DbEnv.log_put</a> method is returned in the <b>data</b> argument.  The
<b>lsn</b> argument is overwritten with the <a href="../api_java/lsn_class.html">DbLsn</a> of the record
returned.  If no record has been previously written with the DB_CHECKPOINT
flag specified, the first record in the log is returned.
<p>If the log is empty, the DbEnv.log_get method will return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_NOTFOUND">Db.DB_NOTFOUND</a>.
<p><dt><a name="Db.DB_FIRST">Db.DB_FIRST</a><dd>The first record from any of the log files found in the log directory
is returned in the <b>data</b> argument.
The <b>lsn</b> argument is overwritten with the <a href="../api_java/lsn_class.html">DbLsn</a> of the
record returned.
<p>If the log is empty, the DbEnv.log_get method will return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_NOTFOUND">Db.DB_NOTFOUND</a>.
<p><dt><a name="Db.DB_LAST">Db.DB_LAST</a><dd>The last record in the log is returned in the <b>data</b> argument.
The <b>lsn</b> argument is overwritten with the <a href="../api_java/lsn_class.html">DbLsn</a> of the
record returned.
<p>If the log is empty, the DbEnv.log_get method will return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_NOTFOUND">Db.DB_NOTFOUND</a>.
<p><dt><a name="Db.DB_NEXT">Db.DB_NEXT</a><dd>The current log position is advanced to the next record in the log and that
record is returned in the <b>data</b> argument.
The <b>lsn</b> argument is overwritten with the <a href="../api_java/lsn_class.html">DbLsn</a> of the
record returned.
<p>If the pointer has not been initialized via DB_FIRST, DB_LAST, DB_SET,
DB_NEXT, or DB_PREV, DbEnv.log_get will return the first record in the log.
If the last log record has already been returned or the log is empty, the
DbEnv.log_get method will return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_NOTFOUND">Db.DB_NOTFOUND</a>.
<p>If the log was opened with the DB_THREAD flag set, calls to
DbEnv.log_get with the DB_NEXT flag set will return EINVAL.
<p><dt><a name="Db.DB_PREV">Db.DB_PREV</a><dd>The current log position is moved to the previous record in the log and that
record is returned in the <b>data</b> argument.
The <b>lsn</b> argument is overwritten with the <a href="../api_java/lsn_class.html">DbLsn</a> of the
record returned.
<p>If the pointer has not been initialized via DB_FIRST, DB_LAST, DB_SET,
DB_NEXT, or DB_PREV,
DbEnv.log_get will return the last record in the log.
If the first log record has already been returned or the log is empty, the
DbEnv.log_get method will return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_NOTFOUND">Db.DB_NOTFOUND</a>.
<p>If the log was opened with the DB_THREAD flag set, calls to
DbEnv.log_get with the DB_PREV flag set will return EINVAL.
<p><dt><a name="Db.DB_CURRENT">Db.DB_CURRENT</a><dd>Return the log record currently referenced by the log.
<p>If the log pointer has not been initialized via DB_FIRST, DB_LAST, DB_SET,
DB_NEXT, or DB_PREV, or if the log was opened with the DB_THREAD flag set,
DbEnv.log_get will return EINVAL.
<p><dt><a name="Db.DB_SET">Db.DB_SET</a><dd>Retrieve the record specified by the <b>lsn</b> argument.  If the
specified <a href="../api_java/lsn_class.html">DbLsn</a> is invalid (e.g., does not appear in the log)
DbEnv.log_get will return EINVAL.
</dl>
<p>Otherwise, the DbEnv.log_get method throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure.
<h1>Errors</h1>
<p>The DbEnv.log_get method may fail and throw an exception encapsulating a non-zero error for the following conditions:
<p><dl compact>
<p><dt>EINVAL<dd>An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
<p>The DB_FIRST flag was specified and no log files were found.
</dl>
<p>The DbEnv.log_get method may fail and throw an exception for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods.
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DbEnv.log_get method may fail and throw
a <a href="../api_java/runrec_class.html">DbRunRecoveryException</a>, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls
will fail in the same way.
