+<p>
+The <a href="../c3ref/config.html">sqlite3_config</a>(<a href="../c3ref/c_config_covering_index_scan.html#sqliteconfigpcache2">SQLITE_CONFIG_PCACHE2</a>, ...) interface can
+register an alternative page cache implementation by passing in an
+instance of the sqlite3_pcache_methods2 structure.
+In many applications, most of the heap memory allocated by
+SQLite is used for the page cache.
+By implementing a
+custom page cache using this API, an application can better control
+the amount of memory consumed by SQLite, the way in which
+that memory is allocated and released, and the policies used to
+determine exactly which parts of a database file are cached and for
+how long.</p>
+
+<p>The alternative page cache mechanism is an
+extreme measure that is only needed by the most demanding applications.
+The built-in page cache is recommended for most uses.</p>
+
+<p>The contents of the sqlite3_pcache_methods2 structure are copied to an
+internal buffer by SQLite within the call to <a href="../c3ref/config.html">sqlite3_config</a>. Hence
+the application may discard the parameter after the call to
+<a href="../c3ref/config.html">sqlite3_config()</a> returns.</p>
+
+<p><a name="thexinitpagecachemethod"></a>
+
+The xInit() method is called once for each effective
+call to <a href="../c3ref/initialize.html">sqlite3_initialize()</a>
+(usually only once during the lifetime of the process). The xInit()
+method is passed a copy of the sqlite3_pcache_methods2.pArg value.
+The intent of the xInit() method is to set up global data structures
+required by the custom page cache implementation.
+If the xInit() method is NULL, then the
+built-in default page cache is used instead of the application defined
+page cache.</p>
+
+<p><a name="thexshutdownpagecachemethod"></a>
+
+The xShutdown() method is called by <a href="../c3ref/initialize.html">sqlite3_shutdown()</a>.
+It can be used to clean up
+any outstanding resources before process shutdown, if required.
+The xShutdown() method may be NULL.</p>
+
+<p>SQLite automatically serializes calls to the xInit method,
+so the xInit method need not be threadsafe. The
+xShutdown method is only called from <a href="../c3ref/initialize.html">sqlite3_shutdown()</a> so it does
+not need to be threadsafe either. All other methods must be threadsafe
+in multithreaded applications.</p>
+
+<p>SQLite will never invoke xInit() more than once without an intervening
+call to xShutdown().</p>
+
+<p><a name="thexcreatepagecachemethods"></a>
+
+SQLite invokes the xCreate() method to construct a new cache instance.
+SQLite will typically create one cache instance for each open database file,
+though this is not guaranteed. The
+first parameter, szPage, is the size in bytes of the pages that must
+be allocated by the cache. szPage will always a power of two. The
+second parameter szExtra is a number of bytes of extra storage
+associated with each page cache entry. The szExtra parameter will
+a number less than 250. SQLite will use the
+extra szExtra bytes on each page to store metadata about the underlying
+database page on disk. The value passed into szExtra depends
+on the SQLite version, the target platform, and how SQLite was compiled.
+The third argument to xCreate(), bPurgeable, is true if the cache being
+created will be used to cache database pages of a file stored on disk, or
+false if it is used for an in-memory database. The cache implementation
+does not have to do anything special based with the value of bPurgeable;
+it is purely advisory. On a cache where bPurgeable is false, SQLite will
+never invoke xUnpin() except to deliberately delete a page.
+In other words, calls to xUnpin() on a cache with bPurgeable set to
+false will always have the "discard" flag set to true.
+Hence, a cache created with bPurgeable false will
+never contain any unpinned pages.</p>
+
+<p><a name="thexcachesizepagecachemethod"></a>
+
+The xCachesize() method may be called at any time by SQLite to set the
+suggested maximum cache-size (number of pages stored by) the cache
+instance passed as the first argument. This is the value configured using
+the SQLite "<a href="../pragma.html#pragma_cache_size">PRAGMA cache_size</a>" command. As with the bPurgeable
+parameter, the implementation is not required to do anything with this
+value; it is advisory only.</p>
+
+<p><a name="thexpagecountpagecachemethods"></a>
+
+The xPagecount() method must return the number of pages currently
+stored in the cache, both pinned and unpinned.</p>
+
+<p><a name="thexfetchpagecachemethods"></a>
+
+The xFetch() method locates a page in the cache and returns a pointer to
+an sqlite3_pcache_page object associated with that page, or a NULL pointer.
+The pBuf element of the returned sqlite3_pcache_page object will be a
+pointer to a buffer of szPage bytes used to store the content of a
+single database page. The pExtra element of sqlite3_pcache_page will be
+a pointer to the szExtra bytes of extra storage that SQLite has requested
+for each entry in the page cache.</p>
+
+<p>The page to be fetched is determined by the key. The minimum key value
+is 1. After it has been retrieved using xFetch, the page is considered
+to be "pinned".</p>
+
+<p>If the requested page is already in the page cache, then the page cache
+implementation must return a pointer to the page buffer with its content
+intact. If the requested page is not already in the cache, then the
+cache implementation should use the value of the createFlag
+parameter to help it determined what action to take:</p>
+
+<p><table border=1 width=85% align=center>
+<tr><th> createFlag <th> Behavior when page is not already in cache
+<tr><td> 0 <td> Do not allocate a new page. Return NULL.
+<tr><td> 1 <td> Allocate a new page if it easy and convenient to do so.
+Otherwise return NULL.
+<tr><td> 2 <td> Make every effort to allocate a new page. Only return
+NULL if allocating a new page is effectively impossible.
+</table></p>
+
+<p>SQLite will normally invoke xFetch() with a createFlag of 0 or 1. SQLite
+will only use a createFlag of 2 after a prior call with a createFlag of 1
+failed. In between the xFetch() calls, SQLite may
+attempt to unpin one or more cache pages by spilling the content of
+pinned pages to disk and synching the operating system disk cache.</p>
+
+<p><a name="thexunpinpagecachemethod"></a>
+
+xUnpin() is called by SQLite with a pointer to a currently pinned page
+as its second argument. If the third parameter, discard, is non-zero,
+then the page must be evicted from the cache.
+If the discard parameter is
+zero, then the page may be discarded or retained at the discretion of
+page cache implementation. The page cache implementation
+may choose to evict unpinned pages at any time.</p>
+
+<p>The cache must not perform any reference counting. A single
+call to xUnpin() unpins the page regardless of the number of prior calls
+to xFetch().</p>
+
+<p><a name="thexrekeypagecachemethods"></a>
+
+The xRekey() method is used to change the key value associated with the
+page passed as the second argument. If the cache
+previously contains an entry associated with newKey, it must be
+discarded. Any prior cache entry associated with newKey is guaranteed not
+to be pinned.</p>
+
+<p>When SQLite calls the xTruncate() method, the cache must discard all
+existing cache entries with page numbers (keys) greater than or equal
+to the value of the iLimit parameter passed to xTruncate(). If any
+of these pages are pinned, they are implicitly unpinned, meaning that
+they can be safely discarded.</p>
+
+<p><a name="thexdestroypagecachemethod"></a>
+
+The xDestroy() method is used to delete a cache allocated by xCreate().
+All resources associated with the specified cache should be freed. After
+calling the xDestroy() method, SQLite considers the <a href="../c3ref/pcache.html">sqlite3_pcache*</a>
+handle invalid, and will not use it with any other sqlite3_pcache_methods2
+functions.</p>
+
+<p><a name="thexshrinkpagecachemethod"></a>
+
+SQLite invokes the xShrink() method when it wants the page cache to
+free up as much of heap memory as possible. The page cache implementation
+is not obligated to free any memory, but well-behaved implementations should
+do their best.
