    int
    DB->stat(DB *db, DB_TXN *txnid, void *sp, u_int32_t flags);

    int
    DB->stat_print(DB *db, u_int32_t flags);

### Description: DB->stat

The DB->stat method creates a statistical structure and copies a pointer to it into user-specified memory locations. Specifically, if sp is non-NULL, a pointer to the statistics for the database are copied into the memory location to which it refers.

### Parameters

flags
  The flags parameter must be set to 0 or one of the following values:
  DB_FAST_STAT
    Return only the values which do not require traversal of the database. Among other things, this flag makes it possible for applications to request key and record counts without incurring the performance penalty of traversing the entire database.
  DB_READ_COMMITTED
    Database items read during this operation will have degree 2 isolation. This ensures the stability of the data items read during the stat operation but permits that data to be modified or deleted by other transactions prior to the commit of the specified transaction.
  DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED
    Database items read during this operation will have degree 1 isolation, including modified but not yet committed data. Silently ignored if the DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED flag was not specified when the underlying database was opened.
txnid
  If the operation is part of an application-specified transaction, the txnid parameter is a transaction handle returned from DB_ENV->txn_begin; otherwise NULL. If no transaction handle is specified, but the operation occurs in a transactional database, the operation will be implicitly transaction protected.

Statistical structures are stored in allocated memory. If application-specific allocation routines have been declared (see DB_ENV->set_alloc for more information), they are used to allocate the memory; otherwise, the standard C library malloc(3) is used. The caller is responsible for deallocating the memory. To deallocate the memory, free the memory reference; references inside the returned memory need not be individually freed.

If the DB_FAST_STAT flag has not been specified, the DB->stat method will access some of or all the pages in the database, incurring a severe performance penalty as well as possibly flushing the underlying buffer pool.

In the presence of multiple threads or processes accessing an active database, the information returned by DB->stat may be out-of-date.

If the database was not opened read-only and the DB_FAST_STAT flag was not specified, the cached key and record numbers will be updated after the statistical information has been gathered.

The DB->stat method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

### Hash Statistics

In the case of a Hash database, the statistics are stored in a structure of type DB_HASH_STAT. The following fields will be filled in:

u_int32_t hash_magic;
  Magic number that identifies the file as a Hash file. Returned if DB_FAST_STAT is set.
u_int32_t hash_version;
  The version of the Hash database. Returned if DB_FAST_STAT is set.
u_int32_t hash_nkeys;
  The number of unique keys in the database. If DB_FAST_STAT was specified the count will be the last saved value unless it has never been calculated, in which case it will be 0. Returned if DB_FAST_STAT is set.
u_int32_t hash_ndata;
  The number of key/data pairs in the database. If DB_FAST_STAT was specified the count will be the last saved value unless it has never been calculated, in which case it will be 0. Returned if DB_FAST_STAT is set.
u_int32_t hash_pagesize;
  The underlying Hash database page (and bucket) size, in bytes. Returned if DB_FAST_STAT is set.
u_int32_t hash_ffactor;
  The desired fill factor (number of items per bucket) specified at database-creation time. Returned if DB_FAST_STAT is set.

  For the Recno Access Method, the number of records in the database. If the database was configured with mutable record numbers (see DB_RENUMBER), the count will be exact. Otherwise, if the DB_FAST_STAT flag is specified the count will be exact but will include deleted and implicitly created records; if the DB_FAST_STAT flag is not specified, the count will be exact and will not include deleted or implicitly created records.

### Errors

The DB->stat method may fail and return one of the following non-zero errors:

DB_REP_HANDLE_DEAD
  The database handle has been invalidated because a replication election unrolled a committed transaction.
DB_REP_LOCKOUT
  The operation was blocked by client/master synchronization.

EINVAL
  An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

### Description: DB->stat_print

The DB->stat_print method displays the database statistical information, as described for the DB->stat method. The information is printed to a specified output channel (see the DB_ENV->set_msgfile method for more information), or passed to an application callback function (see the DB_ENV->set_msgcall method for more information).

The DB->stat_print method may not be called before the DB->open method has been called.

The DB->stat_print method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

### Parameters

flags
  The flags parameter must be set to 0 or the following value:
  DB_FAST_STAT
    Return only the values which do not require traversal of the database. Among other things, this flag makes it possible for applications to request key and record counts without incurring the performance penalty of traversing the entire database.
  DB_STAT_ALL
