     15 ** THREAD SAFETY NOTES:
     16 **
     17 ** Of the four API functions in this file, the following are not threadsafe:
     18 **
     19 **   sqlite3async_initialize()
     20 **   sqlite3async_shutdown()
     21 **
     22 ** Care must be taken that neither of these functions is called while
     23 ** another thread may be calling either any sqlite3async_XXX() function
     24 ** or an sqlite3_XXX() API function related to a database handle that
     25 ** is using the asynchronous IO VFS.
     26 **
     27 ** These functions:
     28 **
     29 **   sqlite3async_run()
     30 **   sqlite3async_control()
     31 **
     32 ** are threadsafe. It is quite safe to call either of these functions even
     33 ** if another thread may also be calling one of them or an sqlite3_XXX()
     34 ** function related to a database handle that uses the asynchronous IO VFS.

     38 ** Initialize the asynchronous IO VFS and register it with SQLite using
     39 ** sqlite3_vfs_register(). If the asynchronous VFS is already initialized
     40 ** and registered, this function is a no-op. The asynchronous IO VFS
     41 ** is registered as "sqlite3async".
     42 **
     43 ** The asynchronous IO VFS does not make operating system IO requests
     44 ** directly. Instead, it uses an existing VFS implementation for all
     45 ** required file-system operations. If the first parameter to this function
     46 ** is NULL, then the current default VFS is used for IO. If it is not
     47 ** NULL, then it must be the name of an existing VFS. In other words, the
     48 ** first argument to this function is passed to sqlite3_vfs_find() to
     49 ** locate the VFS to use for all real IO operations. This VFS is known
     50 ** as the "parent VFS".
     51 **
     52 ** If the second parameter to this function is non-zero, then the
     53 ** asynchronous IO VFS is registered as the default VFS for all SQLite
     54 ** database connections within the process. Otherwise, the asynchronous IO
     55 ** VFS is only used by connections opened using sqlite3_open_v2() that
     56 ** specifically request VFS "sqlite3async".
     57 **
     58 ** If a parent VFS cannot be located, then SQLITE_ERROR is returned.
     59 ** In the unlikely event that operating system specific initialization
     60 ** fails (win32 systems create the required critical section and event
     61 ** objects within this function), then SQLITE_ERROR is also returned.
     62 ** Finally, if the call to sqlite3_vfs_register() returns an error, then
     63 ** the error code is returned to the user by this function. In all three
     64 ** of these cases, intialization has failed and the asynchronous IO VFS
     65 ** is not registered with SQLite.
     66 **
     67 ** Otherwise, if no error occurs, SQLITE_OK is returned.

     99 /*
    100 ** This function may only be called when the asynchronous IO VFS is
    101 ** installed (after a call to sqlite3async_initialize()). It is used
    102 ** to query or configure various parameters that affect the operation
    103 ** of the asynchronous IO VFS. At present there are three parameters
    104 ** supported:
    105 **
    106 **   * The "halt" parameter, which configures the circumstances under
    107 **     which the sqlite3async_run() parameter is configured.
    108 **
    109 **   * The "delay" parameter. Setting the delay parameter to a non-zero
    110 **     value causes the sqlite3async_run() function to sleep for the
    111 **     configured number of milliseconds between each queued write
    112 **     operation.
    113 **
    114 **   * The "lockfiles" parameter. This parameter determines whether or
    115 **     not the asynchronous IO VFS locks the database files it operates
    116 **     on. Disabling file locking can improve throughput.
    117 **
    118 ** This function is always passed two arguments. When setting the value
    119 ** of a parameter, the first argument must be one of SQLITEASYNC_HALT,
    120 ** SQLITEASYNC_DELAY or SQLITEASYNC_LOCKFILES. The second argument must
    121 ** be passed the new value for the parameter as type "int".
    122 **
    123 ** When querying the current value of a paramter, the first argument must
    124 ** be one of SQLITEASYNC_GET_HALT, GET_DELAY or GET_LOCKFILES. The second
    125 ** argument to this function must be of type (int *). The current value
    126 ** of the queried parameter is copied to the memory pointed to by the
    127 ** second argument. For example:
    128 **
    129 **   int eCurrentHalt;
    130 **   int eNewHalt = SQLITEASYNC_HALT_IDLE;
    131 **
    132 **   sqlite3async_control(SQLITEASYNC_HALT, eNewHalt);
    133 **   sqlite3async_control(SQLITEASYNC_GET_HALT, &eCurrentHalt);
    134 **   assert( eNewHalt==eCurrentHalt );
    135 **
    136 ** See below for more detail on each configuration parameter.
    137 **
    138 ** SQLITEASYNC_HALT:
    139 **
    140 **   This is used to set the value of the "halt" parameter. The second
    141 **   argument must be one of the SQLITEASYNC_HALT_XXX symbols defined
    142 **   below (either NEVER, IDLE and NOW).
    143 **
    144 **   If the parameter is set to NEVER, then calls to sqlite3async_run()
    145 **   never return. This is the default setting. If the parameter is set
    146 **   to IDLE, then calls to sqlite3async_run() return as soon as the
    147 **   queue of pending write operations is empty. If the parameter is set
    148 **   to NOW, then calls to sqlite3async_run() return as quickly as
    149 **   possible, without processing any pending write requests.
    150 **
    151 **   If an attempt is made to set this parameter to an integer value other
    152 **   than SQLITEASYNC_HALT_NEVER, IDLE or NOW, then sqlite3async_control()
    153 **   returns SQLITE_MISUSE and the current value of the parameter is not
    154 **   modified.
    155 **
    156 **   Modifying the "halt" parameter affects calls to sqlite3async_run()
    157 **   made by other threads that are currently in progress.
    158 **
    159 ** SQLITEASYNC_DELAY:
    160 **
    161 **   This is used to set the value of the "delay" parameter. If set to
    162 **   a non-zero value, then after completing a pending write request, the
    163 **   sqlite3async_run() function sleeps for the configured number of
    164 **   milliseconds.
    165 **
    166 **   If an attempt is made to set this parameter to a negative value,
    167 **   sqlite3async_control() returns SQLITE_MISUSE and the current value
    168 **   of the parameter is not modified.
    169 **
    170 **   Modifying the "delay" parameter affects calls to sqlite3async_run()
    171 **   made by other threads that are currently in progress.
    172 **
    173 ** SQLITEASYNC_LOCKFILES:
    174 **
    175 **   This is used to set the value of the "lockfiles" parameter. This
    176 **   parameter must be set to either 0 or 1. If set to 1, then the
    177 **   asynchronous IO VFS uses the xLock() and xUnlock() methods of the
    178 **   parent VFS to lock database files being read and/or written. If
    179 **   the parameter is set to 0, then these locks are omitted.
    180 **
    181 **   This parameter may only be set when there are no open database
    182 **   connections using the VFS and the queue of pending write requests
    183 **   is empty. Attempting to set it when this is not true, or to set it
    184 **   to a value other than 0 or 1 causes sqlite3async_control() to return
    185 **   SQLITE_MISUSE and the value of the parameter to remain unchanged.
    186 **
    187 **   If this parameter is set to zero, then it is only safe to access the
    188 **   database via the asynchronous IO VFS from within a single process. If
    189 **   while writing to the database via the asynchronous IO VFS the database
    190 **   is also read or written from within another process, or via another
    191 **   connection that does not use the asynchronous IO VFS within the same
    192 **   process, the results are undefined (and may include crashes or database
    193 **   corruption).
    194 **
    195 **   Alternatively, if this parameter is set to 1, then it is safe to access
    196 **   the database from multiple connections within multiple processes using
    197 **   either the asynchronous IO VFS or the parent VFS directly.
