Class LogCursor

    java.lang.Object
      com.sleepycat.db.LogCursor

public class LogCursor
extends Object

The LogCursor object is the handle for a cursor into the log files, supporting sequential access to the records stored in log files.

The handle is not free-threaded. Once the `LogCursor.close` method is called, the handle may not be accessed again, regardless of that method's success or failure.

Method Summary
`void` `close()` Close the log cursor.
`OperationStatus` `getCurrent(LogSequenceNumber lsn, DatabaseEntry data)` Return the LogSequenceNumber and log record to which the log cursor currently refers.
`OperationStatus` `getFirst(LogSequenceNumber lsn, DatabaseEntry data)` Return the first LogSequenceNumber and log record.
`OperationStatus` `getLast(LogSequenceNumber lsn, DatabaseEntry data)` Return the last LogSequenceNumber and log record.
`OperationStatus` `getNext(LogSequenceNumber lsn, DatabaseEntry data)` Return the next LogSequenceNumber and log record.
`OperationStatus` `getPrev(LogSequenceNumber lsn, DatabaseEntry data)` Return the previous LogSequenceNumber and log record.
`OperationStatus` `set(LogSequenceNumber lsn, DatabaseEntry data)` Return a specific log record.

Method Detail

### close

    public void close()
               throws DatabaseException

  Close the log cursor.

  The log cursor may not be used again after this method has been called, regardless of the method's success or failure.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### getCurrent

    public OperationStatus getCurrent(LogSequenceNumber lsn,
                                      DatabaseEntry data)
                               throws DatabaseException

  Return the LogSequenceNumber and log record to which the log cursor currently refers.

  Parameters:
    `lsn` - The returned LogSequenceNumber.

    `data` - The returned log record. The data field is set to the record retrieved, and the size field indicates the number of bytes in the record.

  Returns:
    The status of the operation.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### getNext

    public OperationStatus getNext(LogSequenceNumber lsn,
                                   DatabaseEntry data)
                            throws DatabaseException

  Return the next LogSequenceNumber and log record.

  The current log position is advanced to the next record in the log, and its LogSequenceNumber and data are returned. If the cursor has not been initialized, the first available log record in the log will be returned.

  Parameters:
    `lsn` - The returned LogSequenceNumber.

    `data` - The returned log record.

  Returns:
    The status of the operation; a return of NOTFOUND indicates the last log record has already been returned or the log is empty.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### getFirst

    public OperationStatus getFirst(LogSequenceNumber lsn,
                                    DatabaseEntry data)
                             throws DatabaseException

  Return the first LogSequenceNumber and log record.

  The current log position is set to the first record in the log, and its LogSequenceNumber and data are returned.

  Parameters:
    `lsn` - The returned LogSequenceNumber.

    `data` - The returned log record.

  Returns:
    The status of the operation; a return of NOTFOUND indicates the log is empty.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### getLast

    public OperationStatus getLast(LogSequenceNumber lsn,
                                   DatabaseEntry data)
                            throws DatabaseException

  Return the last LogSequenceNumber and log record.

  The current log position is set to the last record in the log, and its LogSequenceNumber and data are returned.

  Parameters:
    `lsn` - The returned LogSequenceNumber.

    `data` - The returned log record.

  Returns:
    The status of the operation; a return of NOTFOUND indicates the log is empty.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### getPrev

    public OperationStatus getPrev(LogSequenceNumber lsn,
                                   DatabaseEntry data)
                            throws DatabaseException

  Return the previous LogSequenceNumber and log record.

  The current log position is advanced to the previous record in the log, and its LogSequenceNumber and data are returned. If the cursor has not been initialized, the last available log record in the log will be returned.

  Parameters:
    `lsn` - The returned LogSequenceNumber.

    `data` - The returned log record.

  Returns:
    The status of the operation; a return of NOTFOUND indicates the first log record has already been returned or the log is empty.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### set

    public OperationStatus set(LogSequenceNumber lsn,
                               DatabaseEntry data)
                        throws DatabaseException

  Return a specific log record.

  The current log position is set to the specified record in the log, and its data is returned.

  Parameters:
    `lsn` - The specified LogSequenceNumber.

    `data` - The returned log record.

  Returns:
    The status of the operation.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.
