The environment regions, including any backing files, are removed. Any log or database files and the environment directory are not removed.</p> <p>If there are processes that have called <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a> without calling <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/env_close.html">DB_ENV->close</a> (that is, there are processes currently using the environment), DB_ENV->remove will fail without further action unless the <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/env_remove.html#DB_FORCE">DB_FORCE</a> flag is set, in which case DB_ENV->remove will attempt to remove the environment, regardless of any processes still using it.</p> <p>The result of attempting to forcibly destroy the environment when it is in use is unspecified. Processes using an environment often maintain open file descriptors for shared regions within it. On UNIX systems, the environment removal will usually succeed, and processes that have already joined the region will continue to run in that region without change. However, processes attempting to join the environment will either fail or create new regions. On other systems in which the <b>unlink</b>(2) system call will fail if any process has an open file descriptor for the file (for example Windows/NT), the region removal will fail.</p> <p>Calling DB_ENV->remove should not be necessary for most applications because the Berkeley DB environment is cleaned up as part of normal database recovery procedures. However, applications may want to call DB_ENV->remove as part of application shut down to free up system resources. For example, if the <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/env_open.html#DB_SYSTEM_MEM">DB_SYSTEM_MEM</a> flag was specified to <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a>, it may be useful to call DB_ENV->remove in order to release system shared memory segments that have been allocated. Or, on architectures in which mutexes require allocation of underlying system resources, it may be useful to call DB_ENV->remove in order to release those resources. Alternatively, if recovery is not required because no database state is maintained across failures, and no system resources need to be released, it is possible to clean up an environment by simply removing all the Berkeley DB files in the database environment's directories.</p> <p>In multithreaded applications, only a single thread may call DB_ENV->remove.</p> <p>A <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> handle that has already been used to open an environment should not be used to call the DB_ENV->remove method; a new <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> handle should be created for that purpose.</p> <p>After DB_ENV->remove has been called, regardless of its return, the Berkeley DB environment handle may not be accessed again.</p> <p>The DB_ENV->remove method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. </p> <b>Parameters</b> <br> <b>db_home</b><ul compact><li>The <b>db_home</b> parameter names the database environment to be removed.</ul> <p>When using a Unicode build on Windows (the default), the <b>db_home</b> argument will be interpreted as a UTF-8 string, which is equivalent to ASCII for Latin characters.</p> <b>flags</b><ul compact><li>The <b>flags</b> parameter must be set to 0 or by bitwise inclusively <b>OR</b>'ing together one or more of the following values: <br> <b><a name="DB_FORCE">DB_FORCE</a></b><ul compact><li>If the <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/env_remove.html#DB_FORCE">DB_FORCE</a> flag is set, the environment is removed, regardless of any processes that may still using it, and no locks are acquired during this process. (Generally, the <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/env_remove.html#DB_FORCE">DB_FORCE</a> flag is specified only when applications were unable to shut down cleanly, and there is a risk that an application may have died holding a Berkeley DB lock.)</ul> <a name="2"><!--meow--></a> <b><a name="DB_USE_ENVIRON">DB_USE_ENVIRON</a></b><ul compact><li>The Berkeley DB process' environment may be permitted to specify information to be used when naming files; see <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/ref/env/naming.html">Berkeley DB File Naming</a>.
