/** @file mdb.h
* @brief memory-mapped database library
*
* @mainpage MDB Memory-Mapped Database Manager
* MDB is a Btree-based database management library modeled loosely on the
* BerkeleyDB API, but much simplified. The entire database is exposed
* in a read-only 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 because 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.
