The bulk of DB provides for wrapper classes and appropriately named methods
that call into DB.  For the most part, there is a straightforward mapping of
names.  For the purposes of referencing documentation, this chart shows the
underlying C structure name for each C++ class.  In some cases, using the
given C prefix with a C++ method name gives the underlying C function name.
For example, DBMemPoolFile::close() is implemented by memp_fclose().

There are a few exceptions to the above, mostly to allow for
natural constructors or to avoid conflicts with reserved words:
