## DbEnv::get_ext_file_threshold()

    #include <db_cxx.h>

    int
    DbEnv::get_ext_file_threshold(u_int32_t *bytes);

The `DbEnv::get_ext_file_threshold()` method returns the threshold value, in bytes, beyond which data items are stored as external files. This value can be set using DbEnv::set_ext_file_threshold(). A value of `0` indicates that external files are not in use by default in this environment, unless Db::set_ext_file_threshold() is called to set an external file threshold for a specific database.

The `DbEnv::get_ext_file_threshold()` method always returns `0` to indicate success.

### Parameters

#### bytes

References memory into which is copied the external file threshold value.
