 *
 *	@mainpage	MDB Lightning Memory-Mapped Database Manager
 *
 *	@section intro_sec Introduction
 *	MDB is a Btree-based database management library modeled loosely on the
 *	BerkeleyDB API, but much simplified. The entire database is exposed
 *	in a memory map, and all data fetches return data directly
 *	from the mapped memory, so no malloc's or memcpy's occur during
 *	data fetches. As such, the library is extremely simple because it
 *	requires no page caching layer of its own, and it is extremely high
 *	performance and memory-efficient. It is also fully transactional with
 *	full ACID semantics, and when the memory map is read-only, the
 *	database integrity cannot be corrupted by stray pointer writes from
 *	application code.
 *
 *	The library is fully thread-aware and supports concurrent read/write
 *	access from multiple processes and threads. Data pages use a copy-on-
 *	write strategy so no active data pages are ever overwritten, which
 *	also provides resistance to corruption and eliminates the need of any
 *	special recovery procedures after a system crash. Writes are fully
 *	serialized; only one write transaction may be active at a time, which
 *	guarantees that writers can never deadlock. The database structure is
 *	multi-versioned so readers run with no locks; writers cannot block
 *	readers, and readers don't block writers.
 *
 *	Unlike other well-known database mechanisms which use either write-ahead
 *	transaction logs or append-only data writes, MDB requires no maintenance
 *	during operation. Both write-ahead loggers and append-only databases
 *	require periodic checkpointing and/or compaction of their log or database
 *	files otherwise they grow without bound. MDB tracks free pages within
 *	the database and re-uses them for new write operations, so the database
 *	size does not grow without bound in normal use.
 *
 *	The memory map can be used as a read-only or read-write map. It is
 *	read-only by default as this provides total immunity to corruption.
 *	Using read-write mode offers much higher write performance, but adds
 *	the possibility for stray application writes thru pointers to silently
 *	corrupt the database. Of course if your application code is known to
 *	be bug-free (...) then this is not an issue.
 *
 *	@section caveats_sec Caveats
 *	Troubleshooting the lock file, plus semaphores on BSD systems:
 *
 *	- A broken lockfile can cause sync issues.
 *	  Stale reader transactions left behind by an aborted program
 *	  cause further writes to grow the database quickly, and
 *	  stale locks can block further operation.
 *
 *	  Fix: Terminate all programs using the database, or make
 *	  them close it.  Next database user will reset the lockfile.
 *
 *	- On BSD systems or others configured with MDB_USE_POSIX_SEM,
 *	  startup can fail due to semaphores owned by another userid.
 *
 *	  Fix: Open and close the database as the user which owns the
 *	  semaphores (likely last user) or as root, while no other
 *	  process is using the database.
 *
 *	Restrictions/caveats (in addition to those listed for some functions):
 *
 *	- Only the database owner should normally use the database on
 *	  BSD systems or when otherwise configured with MDB_USE_POSIX_SEM.
 *	  Multiple users can cause startup to fail later, as noted above.
 *
 *	- A thread can only use one transaction at a time, plus any child
 *	  transactions.  Each transaction belongs to one thread.  See below.
 *
 *	- Use an MDB_env* in the process which opened it, without fork()ing.
 *
 *	- Do not have open an MDB database twice in the same process at
 *	  the same time.  Not even from a plain open() call - close()ing it
 *	  breaks flock() advisory locking.
 *
 *	- Avoid long-lived transactions.  Read transactions prevent
 *	  reuse of pages freed by newer write transactions, thus the
 *	  database can grow quickly.  Write transactions prevent
 *	  other write transactions, since writes are serialized.
 *
 *	...when several processes can use a database concurrently:
 *
 *	- Avoid suspending a process with active transactions.  These
 *	  would then be "long-lived" as above.
 *
 *	- Avoid aborting a process with an active transaction.
 *	  The transaction becomes "long-lived" as above until the lockfile
 *	  is reset, since the process may not remove it from the lockfile.
 *
 *	- If you do that anyway, close the environment once in a while,
 *	  so the lockfile can get reset.
 *
 *	- Do not use MDB databases on remote filesystems, even between
 *	  processes on the same host.  This breaks flock() on some OSes,
 *	  possibly memory map sync, and certainly sync between programs
 *	  on different hosts.
 *
 *	- Opening a database can fail if another process is opening or
 *	  closing it at exactly the same time.

	 *      use a fixed address for the mmap region. This flag must be specified
	 *      when creating the environment, and is stored persistently in the environment.
	 *		If successful, the memory map will always reside at the same virtual address
	 *		and pointers used to reference data items in the database will be constant
	 *		across multiple invocations. This option may not always work, depending on
	 *		how the operating system has allocated memory to shared libraries and other uses.
	 *		The feature is highly experimental.
	 *	<li>#MDB_NOSUBDIR
	 *		By default, MDB creates its environment in a directory whose
	 *		pathname is given in \b path, and creates its data and lock files
	 *		under that directory. With this option, \b path is used as-is for
	 *		the database main data file. The database lock file is the \b path
	 *		with "-lock" appended.
	 *	<li>#MDB_NOSYNC
	 *		Don't perform a synchronous flush after committing a transaction. This means
	 *		transactions will exhibit the ACI (atomicity, consistency, and isolation)
	 *		properties, but not D (durability); that is database integrity will be
	 *		maintained but it is possible some number of the most recently committed
	 *		transactions may be undone after a system crash. The number of transactions
	 *		at risk is governed by how often the system flushes dirty buffers to disk
	 *		and how often #mdb_env_sync() is called. This flag may be changed
	 *		at any time using #mdb_env_set_flags().
	 *	<li>#MDB_NOMETASYNC
	 *		Don't perform a synchronous flush of the meta page after committing
	 *		a transaction. This is similar to the #MDB_NOSYNC case, but safer
	 *		because the transaction data is still flushed. The meta page for any
	 *		transaction N will be flushed by the data flush of transaction N+1.
	 *		In case of a system crash, the last committed transaction may be
	 *		lost. This flag may be changed at any time using #mdb_env_set_flags().
