Summary: Adding a light weight API to get last live WAL file name and size. Meant to be used as a helper for backup/restore tooling in a larger ecosystem such as MySQL with a MyRocks storage engine. Specifically within MySQL's backup/restore mechanism, this call can be made with a write lock on the mysql db to get a transactionally consistent snapshot of the current WAL file position along with other non-rocksdb log/data files. Without this, the alternative would be to take the aforementioned lock, scan the WAL dir for all files, find the last file and note its exact size as the rocksdb 'checkpoint'.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
