/* Attempts to commit 'txn'.  Returns the status of the commit operation, one
 * of the following TXN_* constants:
 *
 *   TXN_INCOMPLETE:
 *
 *       The transaction is in progress, but not yet complete.  The caller
 *       should call again later, after calling ovsdb_idl_run() to let the IDL
 *       do OVSDB protocol processing.
 *
 *   TXN_UNCHANGED:
 *
 *       The transaction is complete.  (It didn't actually change the database,
 *       so the IDL didn't send any request to the database server.)
 *
 *   TXN_ABORTED:
 *
 *       The caller previously called ovsdb_idl_txn_abort().
 *
 *   TXN_SUCCESS:
 *
 *       The transaction was successful.  The update made by the transaction
 *       (and possibly other changes made by other database clients) should
 *       already be visible in the IDL.
 *
 *   TXN_TRY_AGAIN:
 *
 *       The transaction failed for some transient reason, e.g. because a
 *       "verify" operation reported an inconsistency or due to a network
 *       problem.  The caller should wait for a change to the database, then
 *       compose a new transaction, and commit the new transaction.
 *
 *       Use the return value of ovsdb_idl_get_seqno() to wait for a change in
 *       the database.  It is important to use its return value *before* the
 *       initial call to ovsdb_idl_txn_commit() as the baseline for this
 *       purpose, because the change that one should wait for can happen after
 *       the initial call but before the call that returns TXN_TRY_AGAIN, and
 *       using some other baseline value in that situation could cause an
 *       indefinite wait if the database rarely changes.
 *
 *   TXN_NOT_LOCKED:
 *
 *       The transaction failed because the IDL has been configured to require
 *       a database lock (with ovsdb_idl_set_lock()) but didn't get it yet or
 *       has already lost it.
 *
 * Committing a transaction rolls back all of the changes that it made to the
 * IDL's copy of the database.  If the transaction commits successfully, then
 * the database server will send an update and, thus, the IDL will be updated
 * with the committed changes. */
