+Environment Commands</h2>
+Environments provide a structure for creating a consistent environment
+for processes using one or more of the features of Berkeley DB.&nbsp; Unlike
+some of the database commands, the environment commands are very low level.
+<br>
+<hr WIDTH="100%">
+<p>The user may create and open a new DB environment&nbsp; by invoking:
+<p><b>> berkdb env</b>

+call. This site's machine ID is set to <b><i>machineid</i></b> and

+
+</ul>
+
+This command will invoke the <a href="../../docs/api_c/env_create.html">db_env_create</a>
+function.&nbsp; After it successfully gets a handle to an environment,
+we bind it to a new Tcl command of the form <b><i>envX</i></b>, where X
+is an integer starting at&nbsp; 0 (e.g. <b>env0, env1, </b>etc).&nbsp;
+We use the <i>Tcl_CreateObjCommand()</i> to create the top level environment
+command function.&nbsp; It is through this handle that the user can access
+all the commands described in the <a href="#Environment Commands">Environment
+Commands</a> section.&nbsp; Internally, the handle we get back from DB
+will be stored as the <i>ClientData</i> portion of the new command set
+so that all future environment calls will have that handle readily available.&nbsp;
+Then we call the <a href="../../docs/api_c/env_open.html">DBENV->open</a>
+method call and possibly some number of setup calls as described above.
+<p>
+<hr WIDTH="100%">
+<br><a NAME="> <env> verbose which on|off"></a><b>> &lt;env> verbose <i>which</i>
+on|off</b>
+<p>This command controls the use of debugging output for the environment.&nbsp;
+This command directly translates to a call to the <a href="../../docs/api_c/dbenv_set_verbose.html">DBENV->set_verbose</a>
+method call.&nbsp; It returns either a 0 (for success), a DB error message
+or it throws a Tcl error with a system message.&nbsp; The user specifies
+<b><i>which</i></b>
+subsystem to control, and indicates whether debug messages should be turned
+<b>on</b>
+or <b>off</b> for that subsystem.&nbsp; The value of <b><i>which</i></b>
+must be one of the following:
+<ul>
+<li>
+<b>deadlock </b>- Chooses the deadlocking code by using the DB_VERB_DEADLOCK
+value</li>
+
+<li>
+<b>recovery </b>- Chooses the recovery code by using the DB_VERB_RECOVERY
+value</li>
+
+<li>
+<b>wait </b>- Chooses the waitsfor code by using the DB_VERB_WAITSFOR value</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr WIDTH="100%">
+<p><a NAME="> <env> close"></a><b>> &lt;env> close</b>
+<p>This command closes an environment and deletes the handle.&nbsp; This
+command directly translates to a call to the <a href="../../docs/api_c/env_close.html">DBENV->close</a>
+method call.&nbsp; It returns either a 0 (for success), a DB error message
+or it throws a Tcl error with a system message.
+<p>Additionally, since the handle is no longer valid, we will call <i>Tcl_DeleteCommand()
+</i>so
+that further uses of the handle will be dealt with properly by Tcl itself.
+<p>Also, the close command will automatically abort any <a href="txn.html">transactions</a>
+and close any <a href="mpool.html">mpool</a> memory files.&nbsp; As such
+we must maintain a list of open transaction and mpool handles so that we
+can call <i>Tcl_DeleteCommand</i> on those as well.
