173The C<SV *callback> is the optional callback function to call when the
174request is completed. This last callback argument is special: the callback
175is simply the last argument passed. If there are "optional" arguments
176before the callback they can be left out. The callback itself can be left
177out or specified as C<undef>, in which case the function will be executed
178synchronously.
179
180For example, C<db_env_txn_checkpoint> usually is called with all integer
181arguments zero. These can be left out, so all of these specify a call
182to C<< DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint >>, to be executed asynchronously with a
183callback to be called:
184
185 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0, sub { };
186 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, sub { };
187 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, sub { };
188
189While these all specify a call to C<< DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint >> to be
190executed synchronously:
191
192 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0, undef;
193 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0;

567=head3 VERSION CHECKING
568
569BerkeleyDB comes in various versions, many of them have minor
570incompatibilities. This means that traditional "at least version x.x"
571checks are often not sufficient.
572
573Example: set the log_autoremove option in a way compatible with <v.47 and
574v4.7. Note the use of & on the constants to avoid triggering a compiletime
575bug when the symbol isn't available.

582=item BDB::VERSION
583
584The C<BDB::VERSION> function, when called without arguments, returns the
585Berkeley DB version as a v-string (usually with 3 components). You should
586use C<lt> and C<ge> operators exclusively to make comparisons.
587
588Example: check for at least version 4.7.
589
590 BDB::VERSION ge v4.7 or die;
591
592=item BDB::VERSION min-version
593
594Returns true if the BDB version is at least the given version (specified
595as a v-string), false otherwise.
596
597Example: check for at least version 4.5.
598
599 BDB::VERSION v4.7 or die;
600
601=item BDB::VERSION min-version, max-version
602
603Returns true of the BDB version is at least version C<min-version> (specify C<undef> or C<v0> for any minimum version)
604and less then C<max-version>.
605
606Example: check wether version is strictly less then v4.7.
