#include <db_cxx.h> int DbEnv::get_intermediate_dir_mode(u_int32_t *modep);
         The DbEnv::get_intermediate_dir_mode() method returns the
         intermediate directory permissions.
    
Intermediate directories are directories needed for recovery. Normally, Berkeley DB does not create these directories and will do so only if the DbEnv::set_intermediate_dir_mode() method is called.
         The DbEnv::get_intermediate_dir_mode() method may be called at any
         time during the life of the application.
    
         The DbEnv::get_intermediate_dir_mode() method returns a non-zero
         error value on failure and 0 on success.
