DB_ENV->memp_trickle(DB_ENV *env, int percent, int *nwrotep);

The DB_ENV->memp_trickle method ensures that a specified percent of the pages in the shared memory pool are clean, by writing dirty pages to their backing files.

The purpose of the DB_ENV->memp_trickle function is to enable a memory pool manager to ensure that a page is always available for reading in new information without having to wait for a write.

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

• The nwrotep parameter references memory into which the number of pages written to reach the specified percentage is copied.

• The percent parameter is the percent of the pages in the cache that should be clean.

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

• An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
