 Well in my language, which is not english nor french, this just mean that
 you can open a transaction with the flag BDB::INIT_TXN or
 BDB::INIT_TRANSACTION. This does not means that these 2 flags are the
 same.

 yes, this is just that I find easier to write

  BDB::INIT_TRANSACTION

 rather than

 BDB::INIT_LOCK | BDB::INIT_MPOOL | BDB::INIT_TXN | BDB::INIT_LOG
