#include <db.h> int DB_ENV->get_intermediate_dir_mode(DB_ENV *dbenv, const char **modep);
         The DB_ENV->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 DB_ENV->set_intermediate_dir_mode() method is called.
         The DB_ENV->get_intermediate_dir_mode() method may be called at any
         time during the life of the application.
    
         The DB_ENV->get_intermediate_dir_mode() method returns a non-zero
         error value on failure and 0 on success.
