<p>
The path of a directory to be used as the location of logging files.
Log files created by the Log Manager subsystem will be created in this
directory.
</p>
<p>
If no logging directory is specified, log files are created in the
environment home directory. See
<a href="../../programmer_reference/env_naming.html" class="olink">Berkeley DB File Naming</a>
for more information.
</p>
<p>
For the greatest degree of recoverability from system or application
failure, database files and log files should be located on separate
physical devices.
</p>
<p>
The database environment's logging directory may also be
configured using the environment's <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file. The syntax
of the entry in that file is a single line with the string
"set_lg_dir", one or more whitespace characters, and the directory
name. Because the <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file is read when the database
environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration
done before that time. Note that if you use this method for your
application, and you also want to use the
<a class="xref" href="db_recover.html" title="db_recover">db_recover</a>,
<a class="xref" href="db_printlog.html" title="db_printlog">db_printlog</a>,
<a class="xref" href="db_archive.html" title="db_archive">db_archive</a>, or
<a class="xref" href="db_log_verify.html" title="db_log_verify">db_log_verify</a>
utilities, then you should set create a <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file and set
the "set_lg_dir" parameter in it.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::set_lg_dir()</code> method configures operations performed using
the specified <a class="link" href="env.html" title="Chapter 5. The DbEnv Handle">DbEnv</a>
handle, not all operations performed on the underlying database
environment.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::set_lg_dir()</code> method may not be called after the
<a class="xref" href="envopen.html" title="DbEnv::open()">
<span>DbEnv::open()</span>
</a> method is called.
If the database environment already exists when
<a class="xref" href="envopen.html" title="DbEnv::open()">
<span>DbEnv::open()</span>
</a> is called, the
information specified to <code class="methodname">DbEnv::set_lg_dir()</code> must be consistent with
the existing environment or corruption can occur.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::set_lg_dir()</code> <span>
<span>
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 <span class="bold"><strong>dir</strong></span> parameter is the
