<h1>Description</h1>
<p>The DbEnv.close method closes the Berkeley DB environment, freeing any
allocated resources and closing any underlying subsystems.
<p>Calling DbEnv.close does not imply closing any databases that were
opened in the environment.
<p>The <b>flags</b> parameter is currently unused, and must be set to 0.
<p>Where the environment was initialized with the <a href="../api_java/env_open.html#DB_INIT_LOCK">Db.DB_INIT_LOCK</a> flag,
calling DbEnv.close does not release any locks still held by the
closing process, providing functionality for long-lived locks.
<p>Where the environment was initialized with the <a href="../api_java/env_open.html#DB_INIT_MPOOL">Db.DB_INIT_MPOOL</a>
flag, calling DbEnv.close implies calls to <a href="../api_java/memp_fclose.html">DbMpoolFile.close</a> for
any remaining open files in the memory pool that were returned to this
process by calls to <a href="../api_java/memp_fopen.html">DbMpoolFile.open</a>.  It does not imply a call to
<a href="../api_java/memp_fsync.html">DbMpoolFile.sync</a> for those files.
<p>Where the environment was initialized with the <a href="../api_java/env_open.html#DB_INIT_TXN">Db.DB_INIT_TXN</a> flag,
calling DbEnv.close aborts any uncommitted transactions.
(Applications are should not depend on this behavior. If the process' has
already closed a database handle which is necessary to abort an
uncommitted transaction, the Berkeley DB environment must then require that
recovery be run before further operations are done, since once a
transaction exists that cannot be committed or aborted, no future
checkpoint can ever succeed.)
<p>In multi-threaded applications, only a single thread may call
DbEnv.close.
<p>Once DbEnv.close has been called, regardless of its return,
the Berkeley DB environment handle may not be accessed again.
<p>The DbEnv.close method throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure.
<h1>Errors</h1>
<p>The DbEnv.close 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.close 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.
