DbEnv::set_isalive(int (*is_alive)(DbEnv *dbenv, pid_t pid,
db_threadid_t tid, u_int32_t flags));
Declare a function that returns if a thread of control (either a true
thread or a process) is still running. The DbEnv::set_isalive()
method supports the DbEnv::failchk() method.

Data Store applications, and

applications, both in the Berkeley DB Programmer's Reference Guide.
The DbEnv::set_isalive() method configures operations performed
using the specified DbEnv handle, not all
operations performed on the underlying database environment.
The DbEnv::set_isalive() method may be called at any time during the
life of the application.
The DbEnv::set_isalive()
method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an
exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure, and returns 0 on success.
The is_alive parameter is a function which returns non-zero if the thread of control, identified by the pid and tid arguments, is still running. The function takes four arguments:
dbenv
The dbenv parameter is the enclosing database environment handle, allowing application access to the application-private fields of that object.
pid
The pid parameter is a process ID returned by the function specified to the DbEnv::set_thread_id() method.
tid
The tid parameter is a thread ID returned by the function specified to the DbEnv::set_thread_id() method.
flags
The flags parameter must be set to 0 or the following value:
The DbEnv::set_isalive()
method may fail and throw a DbException
exception, encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one
of the following non-zero errors:
