## Db::get_re_pad()

    #include <db_cxx.h>

    int
    Db::get_re_pad(int *re_padp);

The `Db::get_re_pad()` method returns the pad character used for short, fixed-length records used by the Queue and Recno access methods. This character is set using the Db::set_re_pad() method.

The `Db::get_re_pad()` method may be called only after the database has been opened.

The `Db::get_re_pad()` method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.

### Parameters

#### re_padp

The `Db::get_re_pad()` method returns the pad character in re_padp. If used on a handle that has not yet been opened, the default pad character is returned. See the Db::set_re_pad() method description for what that default value is.
