+<p>
+int
+txn_prepare(DB_TXN *tid);
+</pre></h3>
+<h1>Description</h1>
+<p>The txn_prepare function initiates the beginning of a two-phase commit.
+<p>In a distributed transaction environment, Berkeley DB can be used as a local
+transaction manager. In this case, the distributed transaction manager
+must send <i>prepare</i> messages to each local manager. The local
+manager must then issue a txn_prepare and await its successful
+return before responding to the distributed transaction manager. Only
+after the distributed transaction manager receives successful responses
+from all of its <i>prepare</i> messages should it issue any
+<i>commit</i> messages.
+<p>In the case of nested transactions, preparing a parent transaction
+causes all unresolved children of the parent transaction to be prepared.
+<p>The txn_prepare function returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
+<h1>Errors</h1>
+<p>The txn_prepare function may fail and return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system functions.
+If a catastrophic error has occurred, the txn_prepare function may fail and return
+<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.
