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