<h3>Description: DbEnv::memp_stat</h3>
<p>The DbEnv::memp_stat method returns the memory pool (that is, the buffer
cache) subsystem statistics.</p>
<p>The DbEnv::memp_stat method creates statistical structures of type DB_MPOOL_STAT
and DB_MPOOL_FSTAT, and copy pointers to them into user-specified memory
locations.  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_cxx/env_set_alloc.html">DbEnv::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.
The following DB_MPOOL_STAT fields will be filled in:</p>
<dl compact>
<dt>size_t st_gbytes;<dd>Gigabytes of cache (total cache size is st_gbytes + st_bytes).

<dt>u_int32_t st_io_wait;<dd>Number of operations blocked waiting for I/O to complete.
</dl>
<p>If <b>fsp</b> is non-NULL, a pointer to a NULL-terminated
variable length array of statistics for individual files, in the cache
<b>mp</b>, is copied into the memory location to which it refers.  If
no individual files currently exist in the cache, <b>fsp</b> will be
set to NULL.</p>
<p>The per-file statistics are stored in structures of type DB_MPOOL_FSTAT.
The following DB_MPOOL_FSTAT fields will be filled in for each file in
the cache; that is, each element of the array:</p>
<dl compact>
<dt>char * file_name;<dd>The name of the file.
<dt>size_t st_pagesize;<dd>Page size in bytes.
<dt>u_int32_t st_cache_hit;<dd>Requested pages found in the cache.
