## db_env_set_func_malloc

    #include <db.h>

    int
    db_env_set_func_malloc(void *(*func_malloc)(size_t size));

Replace Berkeley DB calls to the ANSI C X3.159-1989 (ANSI C) standard malloc function with func_malloc, which must conform to the standard interface specification.

The `db_env_set_func_malloc()` function configures all operations performed by a process and all of its threads of control, not operations confined to a single database environment.

Although the `db_env_set_func_malloc()` function may be called at any time during the life of the application, it should normally be called before making calls to the db_env_create or db_create methods.

The `db_env_set_func_malloc()` function returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

### Parameters

#### func_malloc

The func_malloc parameter is the replacement function. It must conform to the standard interface specification.
