The entire database is exposed 11 * in a memory map, and all data fetches return data directly 12 * from the mapped memory, so no malloc's or memcpy's occur during 13 * data fetches. As such, the library is extremely simple because it 14 * requires no page caching layer of its own, and it is extremely high 15 * performance and memory-efficient. It is also fully transactional with 16 * full ACID semantics, and when the memory map is read-only, the 17 * database integrity cannot be corrupted by stray pointer writes from 18 * application code. 19 * 20 * The library is fully thread-aware and supports concurrent read/write 21 * access from multiple processes and threads. Data pages use a copy-on- 22 * write strategy so no active data pages are ever overwritten, which 23 * also provides resistance to corruption and eliminates the need of any 24 * special recovery procedures after a system crash. Writes are fully 25 * serialized; only one write transaction may be active at a time, which 26 * guarantees that writers can never deadlock. The database structure is 27 * multi-versioned so readers run with no locks; writers cannot block 28 * readers, and readers don't block writers. 29 * 30 * Unlike other well-known database mechanisms which use either write-ahead 31 * transaction logs or append-only data writes, LMDB requires no maintenance 32 * during operation. Both write-ahead loggers and append-only databases 33 * require periodic checkpointing and/or compaction of their log or database 34 * files otherwise they grow without bound. LMDB tracks free pages within 35 * the database and re-uses them for new write operations, so the database 36 * size does not grow without bound in normal use. 37 * 38 * The memory map can be used as a read-only or read-write map. It is 39 * read-only by default as this provides total immunity to corruption. 40 * Using read-write mode offers much higher write performance, but adds 41 * the possibility for stray application writes thru pointers to silently 42 * corrupt the database. Of course if your application code is known to 43 * be bug-free (...) then this is not an issue. 44 * 45 * If this is your first time using a transactional embedded key/value 46 * store, you may find the \ref starting page to be helpful. 47 * 48 * @section caveats_sec Caveats 49 * Troubleshooting the lock file, plus semaphores on BSD systems: 50 * 51 * - A broken lockfile can cause sync issues. 52 * Stale reader transactions left behind by an aborted program 53 * cause further writes to grow the database quickly, and 54 * stale locks can block further operation. 55 * 56 * Fix: Check for stale readers periodically, using the 57 * #mdb_reader_check function or the \ref mdb_stat_1 "mdb_stat" tool. 58 * Stale writers will be cleared automatically on some systems: 59 * - Windows - automatic 60 * - Linux, systems using POSIX mutexes with Robust option - automatic 61 * - not on BSD, systems using POSIX semaphores. 62 * Otherwise just make all programs using the database close it; 63 * the lockfile is always reset on first open of the environment. 64 * 65 * - On BSD systems or others configured with MDB_USE_POSIX_SEM, 66 * startup can fail due to semaphores owned by another userid. 67 * 68 * Fix: Open and close the database as the user which owns the 69 * semaphores (likely last user) or as root, while no other 70 * process is using the database. 71 * 72 * Restrictions/caveats (in addition to those listed for some functions): 73 * 74 * - Only the database owner should normally use the database on 75 * BSD systems or when otherwise configured with MDB_USE_POSIX_SEM. 76 * Multiple users can cause startup to fail later, as noted above. 77 * 78 * - There is normally no pure read-only mode, since readers need write 79 * access to locks and lock file. Exceptions: On read-only filesystems 80 * or with the #MDB_NOLOCK flag described under #mdb_env_open(). 81 * 82 * - An LMDB configuration will often reserve considerable \b unused 83 * memory address space and maybe file size for future growth. 84 * This does not use actual memory or disk space, but users may need 85 * to understand the difference so they won't be scared off. 86 * 87 * - By default, in versions before 0.9.10, unused portions of the data 88 * file might receive garbage data from memory freed by other code. 89 * (This does not happen when using the #MDB_WRITEMAP flag.) As of 90 * 0.9.10 the default behavior is to initialize such memory before 91 * writing to the data file. Since there may be a slight performance 92 * cost due to this initialization, applications may disable it using 93 * the #MDB_NOMEMINIT flag. Applications handling sensitive data 94 * which must not be written should not use this flag. This flag is 95 * irrelevant when using #MDB_WRITEMAP. 96 * 97 * - A thread can only use one transaction at a time, plus any child 98 * transactions. Each transaction belongs to one thread. See below. 99 * The #MDB_NOTLS flag changes this for read-only transactions. 100 * 101 * - Use an MDB_env* in the process which opened it, not after fork(). 102 * 103 * - Do not have open an LMDB database twice in the same process at 104 * the same time. Not even from a plain open() call - close()ing it 105 * breaks fcntl() advisory locking. (It is OK to reopen it after 106 * fork() - exec*(), since the lockfile has FD_CLOEXEC set.) 107 * 108 * - Avoid long-lived transactions. Read transactions prevent 109 * reuse of pages freed by newer write transactions, thus the 110 * database can grow quickly. Write transactions prevent 111 * other write transactions, since writes are serialized. 112 * 113 * - Avoid suspending a process with active transactions. These 114 * would then be "long-lived" as above. Also read transactions 115 * suspended when writers commit could sometimes see wrong data. 116 * 117 * ...when several processes can use a database concurrently: 118 * 119 * - Avoid aborting a process with an active transaction. 120 * The transaction becomes "long-lived" as above until a check 121 * for stale readers is performed or the lockfile is reset, 122 * since the process may not remove it from the lockfile. 123 * 124 * This does not apply to write transactions if the system clears 125 * stale writers, see above. 126 * 127 * - If you do that anyway, do a periodic check for stale readers. Or 128 * close the environment once in a while, so the lockfile can get reset. 129 * 130 * - Do not use LMDB databases on remote filesystems, even between 131 * processes on the same host. This breaks flock() on some OSes, 132 * possibly memory map sync, and certainly sync between programs 133 * on different hosts. 134 * 135 * - Opening a database can fail if another process is opening or 136 * closing it at exactly the same time. 137 * 138 * @author Howard Chu, Symas Corporation. 139 * 140 * @copyright Copyright 2011-2021 Howard Chu, Symas Corp.

This can defeat durability (#mdb_env_sync etc). 550 * <li>#MDB_NOMETASYNC 551 * Flush system buffers to disk only once per transaction, omit the 552 * metadata flush. Defer that until the system flushes files to disk, 553 * or next non-MDB_RDONLY commit or #mdb_env_sync(). This optimization 554 * maintains database integrity, but a system crash may undo the last 555 * committed transaction. I.e. it preserves the ACI (atomicity, 556 * consistency, isolation) but not D (durability) database property. 557 * This flag may be changed at any time using #mdb_env_set_flags(). 558 * <li>#MDB_NOSYNC 559 * Don't flush system buffers to disk when committing a transaction. 560 * This optimization means a system crash can corrupt the database or 561 * lose the last transactions if buffers are not yet flushed to disk. 562 * The risk is governed by how often the system flushes dirty buffers 563 * to disk and how often #mdb_env_sync() is called. However, if the 564 * filesystem preserves write order and the #MDB_WRITEMAP flag is not 565 * used, transactions exhibit ACI (atomicity, consistency, isolation) 566 * properties and only lose D (durability). I.e. database integrity 567 * is maintained, but a system crash may undo the final transactions. 568 * Note that (#MDB_NOSYNC | #MDB_WRITEMAP) leaves the system with no 569 * hint for when to write transactions to disk, unless #mdb_env_sync() 570 * is called. (#MDB_MAPASYNC | #MDB_WRITEMAP) may be preferable. 571 * This flag may be changed at any time using #mdb_env_set_flags(). 572 * <li>#MDB_MAPASYNC 573 * When using #MDB_WRITEMAP, use asynchronous flushes to disk. 574 * As with #MDB_NOSYNC, a system crash can then corrupt the 575 * database or lose the last transactions. Calling #mdb_env_sync() 576 * ensures on-disk database integrity until next commit. 577 * This flag may be changed at any time using #mdb_env_set_flags(). 578 * <li>#MDB_NOTLS 579 * Don't use Thread-Local Storage. Tie reader locktable slots to 580 * #MDB_txn objects instead of to threads. I.e. #mdb_txn_reset() keeps 581 * the slot reserved for the #MDB_txn object. A thread may use parallel 582 * read-only transactions. A read-only transaction may span threads if 583 * the user synchronizes its use. Applications that multiplex many 584 * user threads over individual OS threads need this option. Such an 585 * application must also serialize the write transactions in an OS 586 * thread, since LMDB's write locking is unaware of the user threads. 587 * <li>#MDB_NOLOCK 588 * Don't do any locking. If concurrent access is anticipated, the 589 * caller must manage all concurrency itself. For proper operation 590 * the caller must enforce single-writer semantics, and must ensure 591 * that no readers are using old transactions while a writer is 592 * active. The simplest approach is to use an exclusive lock so that 593 * no readers may be active at all when a writer begins. 594 * <li>#MDB_NORDAHEAD 595 * Turn off readahead. Most operating systems perform readahead on 596 * read requests by default. This option turns it off if the OS 597 * supports it. Turning it off may help random read performance 598 * when the DB is larger than RAM and system RAM is full. 599 * The option is not implemented on Windows. 600 * <li>#MDB_NOMEMINIT 601 * Don't initialize malloc'd memory before writing to unused spaces 602 * in the data file. By default, memory for pages written to the data 603 * file is obtained using malloc. While these pages may be reused in 604 * subsequent transactions, freshly malloc'd pages will be initialized 605 * to zeroes before use. This avoids persisting leftover data from other 606 * code (that used the heap and subsequently freed the memory) into the 607 * data file. Note that many other system libraries may allocate 608 * and free memory from the heap for arbitrary uses. E.g., stdio may 609 * use the heap for file I/O buffers. This initialization step has a 610 * modest performance cost so some applications may want to disable 611 * it using this flag. This option can be a problem for applications 612 * which handle sensitive data like passwords, and it makes memory 613 * checkers like Valgrind noisy. This flag is not needed with #MDB_WRITEMAP, 614 * which writes directly to the mmap instead of using malloc for pages. The 615 * initialization is also skipped if #MDB_RESERVE is used; the 616 * caller is expected to overwrite all of the memory that was 617 * reserved in that case. 618 * This flag may be changed at any time using #mdb_env_set_flags(). 619 * </ul> 620 * @param[in] mode The UNIX permissions to set on created files and semaphores. 621 * This parameter is ignored on Windows. 622 * @return A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
