#include <db_cxx.h> void Db::set_msgfile(FILE *msgfile);
There are interfaces in the Berkeley DB library which either directly output informational messages or statistical information, or configure the library to output such messages when performing other operations, for example, DbEnv::set_verbose() and DbEnv::stat_print().
         The DbEnv::set_msgfile()  and
         Db::set_msgfile() methods are used to display these messages for the
         application. In this case the message will include a trailing
         <newline> character.
    
Setting msgfile to NULL unconfigures the interface.
Alternatively, you can use the DbEnv::set_message_stream() and Db::set_message_stream() methods to display the messages via an output stream, or the DbEnv::set_msgcall() or Db::set_msgcall() methods to capture the additional error information in a way that does not use C library FILE *'s. You should not mix these approaches.
         For Db  handles opened
         inside of Berkeley DB environments, calling the Db::set_msgfile()
         method affects the entire environment and is equivalent to calling the
         DbEnv::set_msgfile() 
         method.
    
         The Db::set_msgfile() method configures operations performed using
         the specified Db  handle,
         not all operations performed on the underlying database.
    
         The Db::set_msgfile() method may be called at any time during the
         life of the application.
