    #include <db.h>

    int
    DB_ENV->set_encrypt(DB_ENV *dbenv, const char *passwd, u_int32_t flags);

    int
    DB_ENV->get_encrypt_flags(DB_ENV *dbenv, u_int32_t *flagsp);

### Description: DB_ENV->set_encrypt

Set the password used by the Berkeley DB library to perform encryption and decryption.

The DB_ENV->set_encrypt method configures a database environment, not only operations performed using the specified DB_ENV handle.

The DB_ENV->set_encrypt method may not be called after the DB_ENV->open method is called. If the database environment already exists when DB_ENV->open is called, the information specified to DB_ENV->set_encrypt must be consistent with the existing environment or an error will be returned.

The DB_ENV->set_encrypt method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

### Parameters

flags
  The flags parameter must be set to 0 or the following value:
  DB_ENCRYPT_AES
    Use the Rijndael/AES (also known as the Advanced Encryption Standard and Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 197) algorithm for encryption or decryption.
passwd
  The passwd parameter is the password used to perform encryption and decryption.

### Errors

The DB_ENV->set_encrypt method may fail and return one of the following non-zero errors:

EINVAL
  If the method was called after DB_ENV->open was called; or if an invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

EOPNOTSUPP
  Cryptography is not available in this Berkeley DB release.

### Description: DB_ENV->get_encrypt_flags

The DB_ENV->get_encrypt_flags method returns the encryption flags.

The DB_ENV->get_encrypt_flags method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

The DB_ENV->get_encrypt_flags method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

### Parameters

flagsp
  The DB_ENV->get_encrypt_flags method returns the encryption flags in flagsp.

### Class

DB_ENV
