Description(berkdb envremove)

Remove a Berkeley DB environment.

The options are as follows:

-data_dir dirname
Specify the environment's data directory, as described in Berkeley DB File Naming.

-force
If there are processes that have called berkdb env without calling env close (that is, there are processes currently using the environment), berkdb envremove will fail without further action, unless the -force flag is set, in which case berkdb envremove will attempt to remove the environment regardless of any processes still using it.

-home directory
The -home argument is described in Berkeley DB File Naming.

-log_dir dirname
Specify the environment's log directory, as described in Berkeley DB File Naming.

-tmp_dir dirname
Specify the environment's tmp directory, as described in Berkeley DB File Naming.

-use_environ
The Berkeley DB process' environment may be permitted to specify information to be used when naming files; see Berkeley DB File Naming. Because permitting users to specify which files are used can create security problems, environment information will be used in file naming for all users only if the -use_environ flag is set.

-use_environ_root
The Berkeley DB process' environment may be permitted to specify information to be used when naming files; see Berkeley DB File Naming. As permitting users to specify which files are used can create security problems, if the -use_environ_root flag is set, environment information will be used for file naming only for users with appropriate permissions (for example, users with a user-ID of 0 on IEEE/ANSI Std 1003.1 (POSIX) systems).

The berkdb envremove command returns 0 on success, and in the case of error, a Tcl error is thrown.
