* @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 most systems:
* - Windows - automatic
* - BSD, systems using SysV semaphores - automatic
* - Linux, systems using POSIX mutexes with Robust option - automatic
* 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_SYSV_SEM or
* 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.

* Flags set by mdb_env_set_flags() are also used.
* <ul>
* <li>#MDB_FIXEDMAP
* 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, 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 reseved 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().
* <li>#MDB_PREVSNAPSHOT
* Open the environment with the previous snapshot rather than the latest
* one. This loses the latest transaction, but may help work around some
* types of corruption. If opened with write access, this must be the
* only process using the environment. This flag is automatically reset
* after a write transaction is successfully committed.
* </ul>
* @param[in] mode The UNIX permissions to set on created files and semaphores.
* This parameter is ignored on Windows.
* @return A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible
* errors are:
* <ul>
* <li>#MDB_VERSION_MISMATCH - the version of the LMDB library doesn't match the
* version that created the database environment.
* <li>#MDB_INVALID - the environment file headers are corrupted.
* <li>ENOENT - the directory specified by the path parameter doesn't exist.
* <li>EACCES - the user didn't have permission to access the environment files.
* <li>EAGAIN - the environment was locked by another process.
