+ * @brief Lightning memory-mapped database library
+ *
+ * @mainpage Lightning Memory-Mapped Database Manager (LMDB)
+ *
+ * @section intro_sec Introduction
+ * LMDB 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, LMDB 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. LMDB 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.
+ *
+ * If this is your first time using a transactional embedded key/value
+ * store, you may find the \ref starting page to be helpful.
+ *
+ * @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: Check for stale readers periodically, using the
+ * #mdb_reader_check function or the \ref mdb_stat_1 "mdb_stat" tool.
+ * Stale writers will be cleared automatically on some systems:
+ * - Windows - automatic
+ * - Linux, systems using POSIX mutexes with Robust option - automatic
+ * - not on BSD, systems using POSIX semaphores.
+ * Otherwise just make all programs using the database close it;
+ * the lockfile is always reset on first open of the environment.
+ *
+ * - 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.
+ *
+ * - There is normally no pure read-only mode, since readers need write
+ * access to locks and lock file. Exceptions: On read-only filesystems
+ * or with the #MDB_NOLOCK flag described under #mdb_env_open().
+ *
+ * - An LMDB configuration will often reserve considerable \b unused
+ * memory address space and maybe file size for future growth.
+ * This does not use actual memory or disk space, but users may need
+ * to understand the difference so they won't be scared off.
+ *
+ * - By default, in versions before 0.9.10, unused portions of the data
+ * file might receive garbage data from memory freed by other code.
+ * (This does not happen when using the #MDB_WRITEMAP flag.) As of
+ * 0.9.10 the default behavior is to initialize such memory before
+ * writing to the data file. Since there may be a slight performance
+ * cost due to this initialization, applications may disable it using
+ * the #MDB_NOMEMINIT flag. Applications handling sensitive data
+ * which must not be written should not use this flag. This flag is
+ * irrelevant when using #MDB_WRITEMAP.
+ *
+ * - A thread can only use one transaction at a time, plus any child
+ * transactions. Each transaction belongs to one thread. See below.
+ * The #MDB_NOTLS flag changes this for read-only transactions.
+ *
+ * - Use an MDB_env* in the process which opened it, not after fork().
+ *
+ * - Do not have open an LMDB database twice in the same process at
+ * the same time. Not even from a plain open() call - close()ing it
+ * breaks fcntl() advisory locking. (It is OK to reopen it after
+ * fork() - exec*(), since the lockfile has FD_CLOEXEC set.)
+ *
+ * - 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.
+ *
+ * - Avoid suspending a process with active transactions. These
+ * would then be "long-lived" as above. Also read transactions
+ * suspended when writers commit could sometimes see wrong data.
+ *
+ * ...when several processes can use a database concurrently:
+ *
+ * - Avoid aborting a process with an active transaction.
+ * The transaction becomes "long-lived" as above until a check
+ * for stale readers is performed or the lockfile is reset,
+ * since the process may not remove it from the lockfile.
+ *
+ * This does not apply to write transactions if the system clears
+ * stale writers, see above.
+ *
+ * - If you do that anyway, do a periodic check for stale readers. Or
+ * close the environment once in a while, so the lockfile can get reset.
+ *
+ * - Do not use LMDB 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

+ * 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, LMDB 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_RDONLY
+ * Open the environment in read-only mode. No write operations will be
+ * allowed. LMDB will still modify the lock file - except on read-only
+ * filesystems, where LMDB does not use locks.
+ * <li>#MDB_WRITEMAP
+ * Use a writeable memory map unless MDB_RDONLY is set. This uses
+ * fewer mallocs but loses protection from application bugs
+ * like wild pointer writes and other bad updates into the database.
+ * This may be slightly faster for DBs that fit entirely in RAM, but
+ * is slower for DBs larger than RAM.
+ * Incompatible with nested transactions.
+ * Do not mix processes with and without MDB_WRITEMAP on the same
+ * environment. This can defeat durability (#mdb_env_sync etc).
+ * <li>#MDB_NOMETASYNC
+ * Flush system buffers to disk only once per transaction, omit the
+ * metadata flush. Defer that until the system flushes files to disk,
+ * or next non-MDB_RDONLY commit or #mdb_env_sync(). This optimization
+ * maintains database integrity, but a system crash may undo the last
+ * committed transaction. I.e. it preserves the ACI (atomicity,
+ * consistency, isolation) but not D (durability) database property.
+ * This flag may be changed at any time using #mdb_env_set_flags().
+ * <li>#MDB_NOSYNC
+ * Don't flush system buffers to disk when committing a transaction.
+ * This optimization means a system crash can corrupt the database or
+ * lose the last transactions if buffers are not yet flushed to disk.
+ * The risk is governed by how often the system flushes dirty buffers
+ * to disk and how often #mdb_env_sync() is called. However, if the
+ * filesystem preserves write order and the #MDB_WRITEMAP flag is not
+ * used, transactions exhibit ACI (atomicity, consistency, isolation)
+ * properties and only lose D (durability). I.e. database integrity
+ * is maintained, but a system crash may undo the final transactions.
+ * Note that (#MDB_NOSYNC | #MDB_WRITEMAP) leaves the system with no
+ * hint for when to write transactions to disk, unless #mdb_env_sync()
+ * is called. (#MDB_MAPASYNC | #MDB_WRITEMAP) may be preferable.
+ * This flag may be changed at any time using #mdb_env_set_flags().
+ * <li>#MDB_MAPASYNC
+ * When using #MDB_WRITEMAP, use asynchronous flushes to disk.
+ * As with #MDB_NOSYNC, a system crash can then corrupt the
+ * database or lose the last transactions. Calling #mdb_env_sync()
+ * ensures on-disk database integrity until next commit.
+ * This flag may be changed at any time using #mdb_env_set_flags().
+ * <li>#MDB_NOTLS
+ * Don't use Thread-Local Storage. Tie reader locktable slots to
+ * #MDB_txn objects instead of to threads. I.e. #mdb_txn_reset() keeps
+ * the slot reserved for the #MDB_txn object. A thread may use parallel
+ * read-only transactions. A read-only transaction may span threads if
+ * the user synchronizes its use. Applications that multiplex many
+ * user threads over individual OS threads need this option. Such an
+ * application must also serialize the write transactions in an OS
+ * thread, since LMDB's write locking is unaware of the user threads.
+ * <li>#MDB_NOLOCK
+ * Don't do any locking. If concurrent access is anticipated, the
+ * caller must manage all concurrency itself. For proper operation
+ * the caller must enforce single-writer semantics, and must ensure
+ * that no readers are using old transactions while a writer is
+ * active. The simplest approach is to use an exclusive lock so that
+ * no readers may be active at all when a writer begins.
+ * <li>#MDB_NORDAHEAD
+ * Turn off readahead. Most operating systems perform readahead on
+ * read requests by default. This option turns it off if the OS
+ * supports it. Turning it off may help random read performance
+ * when the DB is larger than RAM and system RAM is full.
+ * The option is not implemented on Windows.
+ * <li>#MDB_NOMEMINIT
+ * Don't initialize malloc'd memory before writing to unused spaces
+ * in the data file. By default, memory for pages written to the data
+ * file is obtained using malloc. While these pages may be reused in
+ * subsequent transactions, freshly malloc'd pages will be initialized
+ * to zeroes before use. This avoids persisting leftover data from other
+ * code (that used the heap and subsequently freed the memory) into the
+ * data file. Note that many other system libraries may allocate
+ * and free memory from the heap for arbitrary uses. E.g., stdio may
+ * use the heap for file I/O buffers. This initialization step has a
+ * modest performance cost so some applications may want to disable
+ * it using this flag. This option can be a problem for applications
+ * which handle sensitive data like passwords, and it makes memory
+ * checkers like Valgrind noisy. This flag is not needed with #MDB_WRITEMAP,
+ * which writes directly to the mmap instead of using malloc for pages. The
+ * initialization is also skipped if #MDB_RESERVE is used; the
+ * caller is expected to overwrite all of the memory that was
+ * reserved in that case.
+ * This flag may be changed at any time using #mdb_env_set_flags().
