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;

568=head3 VERSION CHECKING
569
570BerkeleyDB comes in various versions, many of them have minor
571incompatibilities. This means that traditional "at least version x.x"
572checks are often not sufficient.
573
574Example: set the log_autoremove option in a way compatible with <v.47 and
575v4.7. Note the use of & on the constants to avoid triggering a compiletime
576bug when the symbol isn't available.

583=item BDB::VERSION
584
585The C<BDB::VERSION> function, when called without arguments, returns the
586Berkeley DB version as a v-string (usually with 3 components). You should
587use C<lt> and C<ge> operators exclusively to make comparisons.
588
589Example: check for at least version 4.7.
590
591 BDB::VERSION ge v4.7 or die;
592
593=item BDB::VERSION min-version
594
595Returns true if the BDB version is at least the given version (specified
596as a v-string), false otherwise.
597
598Example: check for at least version 4.5.
599
600 BDB::VERSION v4.7 or die;
601
602=item BDB::VERSION min-version, max-version
603
604Returns true of the BDB version is at least version C<min-version> (specify C<undef> or C<v0> for any minimum version)
605and less then C<max-version>.
606
607Example: check wether version is strictly less then v4.7.
