		14	See also the example sections in the document below and possibly the eg/

		16	documentation, as that module uses almost the same asynchronous request

		100	=head2 BERKELEYDB FUNCTIONS
		101
		102	All of these are functions. The create functions simply return a new
		103	object and never block. All the remaining functions all take an optional
		104	callback as last argument. If it is missing, then the fucntion will be
		105	executed synchronously.
		106
		107	BDB functions that cannot block (mostly functions that manipulate
		108	settings) are method calls on the relevant objects, so the rule of thumb
		109	is: if its a method, its not blocking, if its a function, it takes a
		110	callback as last argument.
		111
		112	In the following, C<$int> signifies an integer return value,
		113	C<octetstring> is a "binary string" (i.e. a perl string with no character
		114	indices >255), C<U32> is an unsigned 32 bit integer, C<int> is some
		115	integer, C<NV> is a floating point value.
		116
		117	The C<SV *> types are generic perl scalars (for input and output of data
		118	values), and the C<SV *callback> is the optional callback function to call
		119	when the request is completed.
		120
		121	The various C<DB_ENV> etc. arguments are handles return by
		122	C<db_env_create>, C<db_create>, C<txn_begin> and so on. If they have an
		123	appended C<_ornull> this means they are optional and you can pass C<undef>
		124	for them, resulting a NULL pointer on the C level.

		183
		184	This is not a Berkeley DB function but a BDB module extension. It is very
		185	annoying to have to check every single BDB function for error returns and
		186	provide a codepath out of your transaction. While the BDB module still
		187	makes this possible, it contains the following extensions:
		188
		189	When a transaction-protected function returns any operating system
		190	error (errno > 0), BDB will set the C<TXN_DEADLOCK> flag on the
		191	transaction. This flag is also set by Berkeley DB functions externally
		192	when an operation fails with LOCK_DEADLOCK, and it causes all further
		193	operations on that transaction (including C<db_txn_commit>) to fail.
		194
		195	The C<db_txn_finish> request will look at this flag, and, if it is set,
		196	will automatically call C<db_txn_abort> (setting errno to C<LOCK_DEADLOCK>
		197	if it isn't set). If it isn't set, it will call C<db_txn_commit> and
		198	return the error normally.
		199
		200	How to use this? Easy: just write your transaction normally:
		201
		202	my $txn = $db_env->txn_begin;
		203	db_get $db, $txn, "key", my $data;
		204	db_put $db, $txn, "key", $data + 1 unless $! == BDB::NOTFOUND;
		205	db_txn_finish $txn;
		206	die "transaction failed" if $!;
		207
		208	That is, handle only the expected errors. If something unexpected happens
		209	(EIO, LOCK_NOTGRANTED or a deadlock in either db_get or db_put), then the remaining
		210	requests (db_put in this case) will simply be skipped (they will fail with
		211	LOCK_DEADLOCK) and the transaction will be aborted.
		212
		213	You cna use the C<< $txn->failed >> method to check wether a transaction
		214	has failed in this way and abort further processing (excluding
		215	C<db_txn_finish>).
