## DbEnv::set_lk_conflicts()

    #include <db_cxx.h>

    int
    DbEnv::set_lk_conflicts(u_int8_t *conflicts, int nmodes);

Set the locking conflicts matrix.

If `DbEnv::set_lk_conflicts()` is never called, a standard conflicts array is used; see Standard Lock Modes for more information.

The `DbEnv::set_lk_conflicts()` method configures a database environment, not only operations performed using the specified DbEnv handle.

The `DbEnv::set_lk_conflicts()` method may not be called after the DbEnv::open() method is called. If the database environment already exists when DbEnv::open() is called, the information specified to `DbEnv::set_lk_conflicts()` will be ignored.

The `DbEnv::set_lk_conflicts()` method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.

### Parameters

#### conflicts

The conflicts parameter is the new locking conflicts matrix. The conflicts parameter is an nmodes by nmodes array. A non-0 value for the array element indicates that requested_mode and held_mode conflict:

            conflicts[requested_mode][held_mode]

The not-granted mode must be represented by 0.

#### nmodes

The nmodes parameter is the size of the lock conflicts matrix.

### Errors

The `DbEnv::set_lk_conflicts()` method may fail and throw a DbException exception, encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of the following non-zero errors:

#### EINVAL

If the method was called after DbEnv::open() was called; or if an invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

#### ENOMEM

The conflicts array could not be copied.

### Class

DbEnv, DbLock
