The cache statistics are stored in the DB_MPOOL_STAT structure and the per-file cache statistics are stored the DB_MPOOL_FSTAT structure.</p> <p>Statistical structures are stored in allocated memory. If application-specific allocation routines have been declared (see <a href="../api_c/env_set_alloc.html">DB_ENV->set_alloc</a> for more information), they are used to allocate the memory; otherwise, the standard C library <b>malloc</b>(3) is used. The caller is responsible for deallocating the memory. To deallocate the memory, free the memory reference; references inside the returned memory need not be individually freed.</p> <p>If <b>gsp</b> is non-NULL, the global statistics for the cache <b>mp</b> are copied into the memory location to which it refers.
