SYNOPSIS
Modules
ID List Management
Compatibility Macros
A bunch of macros to minimize the amount of platform-specific ifdefs needed throughout
the rest of the code. When the features this library needs are similar enough to POSIX
to be hidden in a one-or-two line replacement, this macro approach is used.
Debug Macros
Reader Lock Table
Readers don't acquire any locks for their data access. Instead, they simply record
their transaction ID in the reader table. The reader mutex is needed just to find an
empty slot in the reader table. The slot's address is saved in thread-specific data so
that subsequent read transactions started by the same thread need no further locking
to proceed.

Detailed Description
Data Structure Documentation
struct MDB_page
Common header for all page types. The page type depends on mp_flags.
P_BRANCH and P_LEAF pages have unsorted 'MDB_node's at the end, with sorted mp_ptrs[]
entries referring to them. Exception: P_LEAF2 pages omit mp_ptrs and pack sorted
MDB_DUPFIXED values after the page header.
P_OVERFLOW records occupy one or more contiguous pages where only the first has a page
header. They hold the real data of F_BIGDATA nodes.
P_SUBP sub-pages are small leaf 'pages' with duplicate data. A node with flag F_DUPDATA
but not F_SUBDATA contains a sub-page. (Duplicate data can also go in sub-databases, which
use normal pages.)
P_META pages contain MDB_meta, the start point of an LMDB snapshot.
Each non-metapage up to MDB_meta.mm_last_pg is reachable exactly once in the snapshot:
Either used by a database or listed in a freeDB record.

struct MDB_node
Header for a single key/data pair within a page. Used in pages of type P_BRANCH and P_LEAF
without P_LEAF2. We guarantee 2-byte alignment for 'MDB_node's.
mn_lo and mn_hi are used for data size on leaf nodes, and for child pgno on branch nodes.
On 64 bit platforms, mn_flags is also used for pgno. (Branch nodes have no flags). Lo and
hi are in host byte order in case some accesses can be optimized to 32-bit word access.
Leaf node flags describe node contents. F_BIGDATA says the node's data part is the page
number of an overflow page with actual data. F_DUPDATA and F_SUBDATA can be combined
giving duplicate data in a sub-page/sub-database, and named databases (just F_SUBDATA).

struct MDB_meta
Meta page content. A meta page is the start point for accessing a database snapshot. Pages
0-1 are meta pages. Transaction N writes meta page #(N % 2).

when data moves. Exception: An xcursor's pointer to a P_SUBP page can be stale. (A node
with F_DUPDATA but no F_SUBDATA contains a subpage).

Macro Definition Documentation
#define MDB_DSYNC O_SYNC
A flag for opening a file and requesting synchronous data writes. This is only used when
writing a meta page. It's not strictly needed; we could just do a normal write and then
immediately perform a flush. But if this flag is available it saves us an extra system
call.
Note
If O_DSYNC is undefined but exists in /usr/include, preferably set some compiler flag
to get the definition.
#define MDB_FDATASYNC fdatasync
Function for flushing the data of a file. Define this to fsync if fdatasync() is not
supported.
#define MAX_PAGESIZE (PAGEBASE ? 0x10000 : 0x8000)
The maximum size of a database page. It is 32k or 64k, since value-PAGEBASE must fit in
MDB_page.mp_upper.
LMDB will use database pages < OS pages if needed. That causes more I/O in write
transactions: The OS must know (read) the whole page before writing a partial page.
Note that we don't currently support Huge pages. On Linux, regular data files cannot use
Huge pages, and in general Huge pages aren't actually pageable. We rely on the OS demand-
pager to read our data and page it out when memory pressure from other processes is high.
So until OSs have actual paging support for Huge pages, they're not viable.
#define MDB_MINKEYS 2
The minimum number of keys required in a database page. Setting this to a larger value
will place a smaller bound on the maximum size of a data item. Data items larger than this
size will be pushed into overflow pages instead of being stored directly in the B-tree
node. This value used to default to 4. With a page size of 4096 bytes that meant that any
item larger than 1024 bytes would go into an overflow page. That also meant that on
average 2-3KB of each overflow page was wasted space. The value cannot be lower than 2
because then there would no longer be a tree structure. With this value, items larger than
2KB will go into overflow pages, and on average only 1KB will be wasted.
#define MDB_MAGIC 0xBEEFC0DE
A stamp that identifies a file as an LMDB file. There's nothing special about this value
other than that it is easily recognizable, and it will reflect any byte order mismatches.
#define MDB_DATA_VERSION ((MDB_DEVEL) ? 999 : 1)
The version number for a database's datafile format.
#define MDB_LOCK_VERSION 1
The version number for a database's lockfile format.
#define MDB_MAXKEYSIZE ((MDB_DEVEL) ? 0 : 511)
The max size of a key we can write, or 0 for computed max. This macro should normally be
left alone or set to 0. Note that a database with big keys or dupsort data cannot be
reliably modified by a liblmdb which uses a smaller max. The default is 511 for backwards
compat, or 0 when MDB_DEVEL.
Other values are allowed, for backwards compat. However: A value bigger than the computed
max can break if you do not know what you are doing, and liblmdb <= 0.9.10 can break when
modifying a DB with keys/dupsort data bigger than its max.
Data items in an MDB_DUPSORT database are also limited to this size, since they're
actually keys of a sub-DB. Keys and MDB_DUPSORT data items must fit on a node in a regular
page.
#define ENV_MAXKEY(env) (MDB_MAXKEYSIZE)
The maximum size of a key we can write to the environment.
#define MAXDATASIZE 0xffffffffUL
The maximum size of a data item. We only store a 32 bit value for node sizes.
#define P_INVALID (~(pgno_t)0)
An invalid page number. Mainly used to denote an empty tree.
#define F_ISSET(w, f) (((w) & (f)) == (f))
Test if the flags f are set in a flag word w.
#define EVEN(n) (((n) + 1U) & -2) /* sign-extending -2 to match n+1U */
Round n up to an even number.
#define DEFAULT_MAPSIZE 1048576
Default size of memory map. This is certainly too small for any actual applications. Apps
should always set the size explicitly using mdb_env_set_mapsize().
#define PAGEHDRSZ ((unsigned) offsetof(MDB_page, mp_ptrs))
Size of the page header, excluding dynamic data at the end
#define METADATA(p) ((void *)((char *)(p) + PAGEHDRSZ))

Typedef Documentation
typedef MDB_ID pgno_t
A page number in the database. Note that 64 bit page numbers are overkill, since pages
themselves already represent 12-13 bits of addressable memory, and the OS will always
limit applications to a maximum of 63 bits of address space.
Note
In the MDB_node structure, we only store 48 bits of this value, which thus limits us
to only 60 bits of addressable data.
typedef MDB_ID txnid_t
A transaction ID. See struct MDB_txn.mt_txnid for details.
typedef uint16_t indx_t
Used for offsets within a single page. Since memory pages are typically 4 or 8KB in size,
12-13 bits, this is plenty.
typedef char mdb_nchar_t
Character type for file names: char on Unix, wchar_t on Windows

Function Documentation
static int mdb_page_alloc (MDB_cursor * mc, int num, MDB_page ** mp) [static]
Allocate page numbers and memory for writing. Maintain me_pglast, me_pghead and
mt_next_pgno. Set MDB_TXN_ERROR on failure.
If there are free pages available from older transactions, they are re-used first.
Otherwise allocate a new page at mt_next_pgno. Do not modify the freedB, just merge freeDB
records into me_pghead[] and move me_pglast to say which records were consumed. Only this
function can create me_pghead and move me_pglast/mt_next_pgno.
Parameters
mc cursor A cursor handle identifying the transaction and database for which we are
allocating.
num the number of pages to allocate.
mp Address of the allocated page(s). Requests for multiple pages will always be
satisfied by a single contiguous chunk of memory.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure.

root node, no further lookups.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure.
static int mdb_page_merge (MDB_cursor * csrc, MDB_cursor * cdst) [static]

Search for key within a page, using binary search. Returns the smallest entry larger or
equal to the key. If exactp is non-null, stores whether the found entry was an exact match
in *exactp (1 or 0). Updates the cursor index with the index of the found entry. If no
entry larger or equal to the key is found, returns NULL.

indx The index on the page where the new node should be added.
key The key for the new node.
data The data for the new node, if any.
pgno The page number, if adding a branch node.
flags Flags for the node.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure. Possible errors are:
· ENOMEM - failed to allocate overflow pages for the node.
· MDB_PAGE_FULL - there is insufficient room in the page. This error should never
happen since all callers already calculate the page's free space before calling this
function.
static void mdb_node_del (MDB_cursor * mc, int ksize) [static]
Delete the specified node from a page.
Parameters
mc Cursor pointing to the node to delete.
ksize The size of a node. Only used if the page is part of a MDB_DUPFIXED database.

Return the data associated with a given node.
Parameters
mc The cursor for this operation.
leaf The node being read.
data Updated to point to the node's data.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure.
static size_t mdb_leaf_size (MDB_env * env, MDB_val * key, MDB_val * data) [static]
Calculate the size of a leaf node. The size depends on the environment's page size; if a
data item is too large it will be put onto an overflow page and the node size will only
include the key and not the data. Sizes are always rounded up to an even number of bytes,
to guarantee 2-byte alignment of the MDB_node headers.
Parameters
env The environment handle.
key The key for the node.
data The data for the node.
Returns
The number of bytes needed to store the node.
static size_t mdb_branch_size (MDB_env * env, MDB_val * key) [static]
Calculate the size of a branch node. The size should depend on the environment's page size
but since we currently don't support spilling large keys onto overflow pages, it's simply
the size of the MDB_node header plus the size of the key. Sizes are always rounded up to
an even number of bytes, to guarantee 2-byte alignment of the MDB_node headers.
Parameters
env The environment handle.
key The key for the node.
Returns
The number of bytes needed to store the node.
static int mdb_rebalance (MDB_cursor * mc) [static]
Rebalance the tree after a delete operation.
Parameters
mc Cursor pointing to the page where rebalancing should begin.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure.

key The new key to use.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure.
static void mdb_cursor_pop (MDB_cursor * mc) [static]
Pop a page off the top of the cursor's stack.
static int mdb_cursor_push (MDB_cursor * mc, MDB_page * mp) [static]
Push a page onto the top of the cursor's stack. Set MDB_TXN_ERROR on failure.
static int mdb_cursor_del0 (MDB_cursor * mc) [static]
Complete a delete operation started by mdb_cursor_del().
static int mdb_cursor_sibling (MDB_cursor * mc, int move_right) [static]
Find a sibling for a page. Replaces the page at the top of the cursor's stack with the
specified sibling, if one exists.

Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure.
static int mdb_cursor_next (MDB_cursor * mc, MDB_val * key, MDB_val * data, MDB_cursor_op op)
[static]
Move the cursor to the next data item.
static int mdb_cursor_prev (MDB_cursor * mc, MDB_val * key, MDB_val * data, MDB_cursor_op op)

static int mdb_cursor_first (MDB_cursor * mc, MDB_val * key, MDB_val * data) [static]
Move the cursor to the first item in the database.
static int mdb_cursor_last (MDB_cursor * mc, MDB_val * key, MDB_val * data) [static]
Move the cursor to the last item in the database.
static void mdb_cursor_init (MDB_cursor * mc, MDB_txn * txn, MDB_dbi dbi, MDB_xcursor * mx)
[static]
Initialize a cursor for a given transaction and database.
static void mdb_xcursor_init0 (MDB_cursor * mc) [static]
Initial setup of a sorted-dups cursor. Sorted duplicates are implemented as a sub-database
for the given key. The duplicate data items are actually keys of the sub-database.
Operations on the duplicate data items are performed using a sub-cursor initialized when
the sub-database is first accessed. This function does the preliminary setup of the sub-
cursor, filling in the fields that depend only on the parent DB.
Parameters
mc The main cursor whose sorted-dups cursor is to be initialized.
static void mdb_xcursor_init1 (MDB_cursor * mc, MDB_node * node) [static]
Final setup of a sorted-dups cursor. Sets up the fields that depend on the data from the
main cursor.
Parameters
mc The main cursor whose sorted-dups cursor is to be initialized.
node The data containing the MDB_db record for the sorted-dup database.
static void mdb_xcursor_init2 (MDB_cursor * mc, MDB_xcursor * src_mx, int new_dupdata)
[static]
Fixup a sorted-dups cursor due to underlying update. Sets up some fields that depend on
the data from the main cursor. Almost the same as init1, but skips initialization steps if
the xcursor had already been used.
Parameters
mc The main cursor whose sorted-dups cursor is to be fixed up.
src_mx The xcursor of an up-to-date cursor.
new_dupdata True if converting from a non-F_DUPDATA item.
static int mdb_drop0 (MDB_cursor * mc, int subs) [static]
Add all the DB's pages to the free list.
Parameters
mc Cursor on the DB to free.
subs non-Zero to check for sub-DBs in this DB.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure.
static void mdb_default_cmp (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_dbi dbi) [static]
Set the default comparison functions for a database. Called immediately after a database
is opened to set the defaults. The user can then override them with mdb_set_compare() or
mdb_set_dupsort().
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
dbi A database handle returned by mdb_dbi_open()
static int ESECT mdb_reader_check0 (MDB_env * env, int rlocked, int * dead) [static]
As mdb_reader_check(). rlocked is set if caller locked me_rmutex.
char* ESECT mdb_version (int * major, int * minor, int * patch)
Return the LMDB library version information. Return the library version info.
char* mdb_strerror (int err)
Return a string describing a given error code. This function is a superset of the ANSI C
X3.159-1989 (ANSI C) strerror(3) function. If the error code is greater than or equal to
0, then the string returned by the system function strerror(3) is returned. If the error
code is less than 0, an error string corresponding to the LMDB library error is returned.
See Return Codes for a list of LMDB-specific error codes.
Parameters
err The error code
Return values
error message The description of the error
int mdb_cmp (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_dbi dbi, const MDB_val * a, const MDB_val * b)

the two data items were keys in the specified database.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
dbi A database handle returned by mdb_dbi_open()
a The first item to compare
b The second item to compare
Returns
< 0 if a < b, 0 if a == b, > 0 if a > b
int mdb_dcmp (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_dbi dbi, const MDB_val * a, const MDB_val * b)
Compare two data items according to a particular database. This returns a comparison as if
the two items were data items of the specified database. The database must have the
MDB_DUPSORT flag.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
dbi A database handle returned by mdb_dbi_open()
a The first item to compare
b The second item to compare
Returns
< 0 if a < b, 0 if a == b, > 0 if a > b
static MDB_page* mdb_page_malloc (MDB_txn * txn, unsigned num) [static]
Allocate memory for a page. Re-use old malloc'd pages first for singletons, otherwise just
malloc. Set MDB_TXN_ERROR on failure.
static void mdb_page_free (MDB_env * env, MDB_page * mp) [static]
Free a single page. Saves single pages to a list, for future reuse. (This is not used for
multi-page overflow pages.)
static void mdb_dpage_free (MDB_env * env, MDB_page * dp) [static]
Free a dirty page
static void mdb_dlist_free (MDB_txn * txn) [static]
Return all dirty pages to dpage list
static int mdb_page_loose (MDB_cursor * mc, MDB_page * mp) [static]
Loosen or free a single page. Saves single pages to a list for future reuse in this same
txn. It has been pulled from the freeDB and already resides on the dirty list, but has
been deleted. Use these pages first before pulling again from the freeDB.
If the page wasn't dirtied in this txn, just add it to this txn's free list.
static int mdb_pages_xkeep (MDB_cursor * mc, unsigned pflags, int all) [static]
Set or clear P_KEEP in dirty, non-overflow, non-sub pages watched by txn.
Parameters
mc A cursor handle for the current operation.
pflags Flags of the pages to update: P_DIRTY to set P_KEEP, P_DIRTY|P_KEEP to clear
it.
all No shortcuts. Needed except after a full mdb_page_flush().
Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure.
static int mdb_page_flush (MDB_txn * txn, int keep) [static]
Flush (some) dirty pages to the map, after clearing their dirty flag.
Parameters
txn the transaction that's being committed
keep number of initial pages in dirty_list to keep dirty.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure.
static int mdb_page_spill (MDB_cursor * m0, MDB_val * key, MDB_val * data) [static]
Spill pages from the dirty list back to disk. This is intended to prevent running into
MDB_TXN_FULL situations, but note that they may still occur in a few cases: 1) our
estimate of the txn size could be too small. Currently this seems unlikely, except with a
large number of MDB_MULTIPLE items. 2) child txns may run out of space if their parents
dirtied a lot of pages and never spilled them. TODO: we probably should do a preemptive
spill during mdb_txn_begin() of a child txn, if the parent's dirty_room is below a given
threshold.
Otherwise, if not using nested txns, it is expected that apps will not run into
MDB_TXN_FULL any more. The pages are flushed to disk the same way as for a txn commit,
e.g. their P_DIRTY flag is cleared. If the txn never references them again, they can be
left alone. If the txn only reads them, they can be used without any fuss. If the txn
writes them again, they can be dirtied immediately without going thru all of the work of
mdb_page_touch(). Such references are handled by mdb_page_unspill().
Also note, we never spill DB root pages, nor pages of active cursors, because we'll need
these back again soon anyway. And in nested txns, we can't spill a page in a child txn if
it was already spilled in a parent txn. That would alter the parent txns' data even though
the child hasn't committed yet, and we'd have no way to undo it if the child aborted.
Parameters
m0 cursor A cursor handle identifying the transaction and database for which we are
checking space.
key For a put operation, the key being stored.
data For a put operation, the data being stored.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure.
static txnid_t mdb_find_oldest (MDB_txn * txn) [static]
Find oldest txnid still referenced. Expects txn->mt_txnid > 0.
static void mdb_page_dirty (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_page * mp) [static]
Add a page to the txn's dirty list
static void mdb_page_copy (MDB_page * dst, MDB_page * src, unsigned int psize) [static]
Copy the used portions of a non-overflow page.
Parameters
dst page to copy into
src page to copy from
psize size of a page
static int mdb_page_unspill (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_page * mp, MDB_page ** ret) [static]
Pull a page off the txn's spill list, if present. If a page being referenced was spilled
to disk in this txn, bring it back and make it dirty/writable again.
Parameters
txn the transaction handle.
mp the page being referenced. It must not be dirty.
ret the writable page, if any. ret is unchanged if mp wasn't spilled.
int mdb_env_sync (MDB_env * env, int force)
Flush the data buffers to disk. Data is always written to disk when mdb_txn_commit() is
called, but the operating system may keep it buffered. LMDB always flushes the OS buffers
upon commit as well, unless the environment was opened with MDB_NOSYNC or in part
MDB_NOMETASYNC. This call is not valid if the environment was opened with MDB_RDONLY.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
force If non-zero, force a synchronous flush. Otherwise if the environment has the
MDB_NOSYNC flag set the flushes will be omitted, and with MDB_MAPASYNC they will be
asynchronous.
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EACCES - the environment is read-only.
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
· EIO - an error occurred during synchronization.
static int mdb_cursor_shadow (MDB_txn * src, MDB_txn * dst) [static]
Back up parent txn's cursors, then grab the originals for tracking
static void mdb_cursors_close (MDB_txn * txn, unsigned merge) [static]
Close this write txn's cursors, give parent txn's cursors back to parent.
Parameters
txn the transaction handle.
merge true to keep changes to parent cursors, false to revert.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure.
static int mdb_reader_pid (MDB_env * env, enum Pidlock_op op, MDB_PID_T pid) [static]
Set or check a pid lock. Set returns 0 on success. Check returns 0 if the process is
certainly dead, nonzero if it may be alive (the lock exists or an error happened so we do
not know).
On Windows Pidset is a no-op, we merely check for the existence of the process with the
given pid. On POSIX we use a single byte lock on the lockfile, set at an offset equal to
the pid.
static int mdb_txn_renew0 (MDB_txn * txn) [static]
Common code for mdb_txn_begin() and mdb_txn_renew().
Parameters
txn the transaction handle to initialize
Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure.
int mdb_txn_renew (MDB_txn * txn)
Renew a read-only transaction. This acquires a new reader lock for a transaction handle
that had been released by mdb_txn_reset(). It must be called before a reset transaction
may be used again.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· MDB_PANIC - a fatal error occurred earlier and the environment must be shut down.
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
int mdb_txn_begin (MDB_env * env, MDB_txn * parent, unsigned int flags, MDB_txn ** txn)
Create a transaction for use with the environment. The transaction handle may be discarded
using mdb_txn_abort() or mdb_txn_commit().
Note
A transaction and its cursors must only be used by a single thread, and a thread may
only have a single transaction at a time. If MDB_NOTLS is in use, this does not apply
to read-only transactions.
Cursors may not span transactions.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
parent If this parameter is non-NULL, the new transaction will be a nested
transaction, with the transaction indicated by parent as its parent. Transactions may
be nested to any level. A parent transaction and its cursors may not issue any other
operations than mdb_txn_commit and mdb_txn_abort while it has active child
transactions.
flags Special options for this transaction. This parameter must be set to 0 or by
bitwise OR'ing together one or more of the values described here.
· MDB_RDONLY This transaction will not perform any write operations.
txn Address where the new MDB_txn handle will be stored
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· MDB_PANIC - a fatal error occurred earlier and the environment must be shut down.
· MDB_MAP_RESIZED - another process wrote data beyond this MDB_env's mapsize and this
environment's map must be resized as well. See mdb_env_set_mapsize().
· MDB_READERS_FULL - a read-only transaction was requested and the reader lock table
is full. See mdb_env_set_maxreaders().
· ENOMEM - out of memory.
MDB_env* mdb_txn_env (MDB_txn * txn)
Returns the transaction's MDB_env.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
size_t mdb_txn_id (MDB_txn * txn)
Return the transaction's ID. This returns the identifier associated with this transaction.
For a read-only transaction, this corresponds to the snapshot being read; concurrent
readers will frequently have the same transaction ID.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
Returns
A transaction ID, valid if input is an active transaction.
static void mdb_dbis_update (MDB_txn * txn, int keep) [static]
Export or close DBI handles opened in this txn.
void mdb_txn_reset (MDB_txn * txn)
Reset a read-only transaction. Abort the transaction like mdb_txn_abort(), but keep the
transaction handle. mdb_txn_renew() may reuse the handle. This saves allocation overhead
if the process will start a new read-only transaction soon, and also locking overhead if
MDB_NOTLS is in use. The reader table lock is released, but the table slot stays tied to
its thread or MDB_txn. Use mdb_txn_abort() to discard a reset handle, and to free its lock
table slot if MDB_NOTLS is in use. Cursors opened within the transaction must not be used
again after this call, except with mdb_cursor_renew(). Reader locks generally don't
interfere with writers, but they keep old versions of database pages allocated. Thus they
prevent the old pages from being reused when writers commit new data, and so under heavy
load the database size may grow much more rapidly than otherwise.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
void mdb_txn_abort (MDB_txn * txn)
Abandon all the operations of the transaction instead of saving them. The transaction
handle is freed. It and its cursors must not be used again after this call, except with
mdb_cursor_renew().
Note
Earlier documentation incorrectly said all cursors would be freed. Only write-
transactions free cursors.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
static int mdb_freelist_save (MDB_txn * txn) [static]
Save the freelist as of this transaction to the freeDB. This changes the freelist. Keep
trying until it stabilizes.
int mdb_txn_commit (MDB_txn * txn)
Commit all the operations of a transaction into the database. The transaction handle is
freed. It and its cursors must not be used again after this call, except with
mdb_cursor_renew().
Note
Earlier documentation incorrectly said all cursors would be freed. Only write-
transactions free cursors.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
· ENOSPC - no more disk space.
· EIO - a low-level I/O error occurred while writing.
· ENOMEM - out of memory.
static void ESECT mdb_env_init_meta0 (MDB_env * env, MDB_meta * meta) [static]
Fill in most of the zeroed MDB_meta for an empty database environment
static int ESECT mdb_env_init_meta (MDB_env * env, MDB_meta * meta) [static]
Write the environment parameters of a freshly created DB environment.
Parameters
env the environment handle
meta the MDB_meta to write
Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure.
int ESECT mdb_env_create (MDB_env ** env)
Create an LMDB environment handle. This function allocates memory for a MDB_env structure.
To release the allocated memory and discard the handle, call mdb_env_close(). Before the
handle may be used, it must be opened using mdb_env_open(). Various other options may also
need to be set before opening the handle, e.g. mdb_env_set_mapsize(),
mdb_env_set_maxreaders(), mdb_env_set_maxdbs(), depending on usage requirements.
Parameters
env The address where the new handle will be stored
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
int ESECT mdb_env_set_mapsize (MDB_env * env, size_t size)
Set the size of the memory map to use for this environment. The size should be a multiple
of the OS page size. The default is 10485760 bytes. The size of the memory map is also the
maximum size of the database. The value should be chosen as large as possible, to
accommodate future growth of the database. This function should be called after
mdb_env_create() and before mdb_env_open(). It may be called at later times if no
transactions are active in this process. Note that the library does not check for this
condition, the caller must ensure it explicitly.
The new size takes effect immediately for the current process but will not be persisted to
any others until a write transaction has been committed by the current process. Also, only
mapsize increases are persisted into the environment.
If the mapsize is increased by another process, and data has grown beyond the range of the
current mapsize, mdb_txn_begin() will return MDB_MAP_RESIZED. This function may be called
with a size of zero to adopt the new size.
Any attempt to set a size smaller than the space already consumed by the environment will
be silently changed to the current size of the used space.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
size The size in bytes
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified, or the environment has an active write
transaction.
int ESECT mdb_env_set_maxdbs (MDB_env * env, MDB_dbi dbs)
Set the maximum number of named databases for the environment. This function is only
needed if multiple databases will be used in the environment. Simpler applications that
use the environment as a single unnamed database can ignore this option. This function may
only be called after mdb_env_create() and before mdb_env_open().
Currently a moderate number of slots are cheap but a huge number gets expensive: 7-120
words per transaction, and every mdb_dbi_open() does a linear search of the opened slots.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
dbs The maximum number of databases
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified, or the environment is already open.
int ESECT mdb_env_set_maxreaders (MDB_env * env, unsigned int readers)
Set the maximum number of threads/reader slots for the environment. This defines the
number of slots in the lock table that is used to track readers in the the environment.
The default is 126. Starting a read-only transaction normally ties a lock table slot to
the current thread until the environment closes or the thread exits. If MDB_NOTLS is in
use, mdb_txn_begin() instead ties the slot to the MDB_txn object until it or the MDB_env
object is destroyed. This function may only be called after mdb_env_create() and before
mdb_env_open().
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
readers The maximum number of reader lock table slots
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified, or the environment is already open.
int ESECT mdb_env_get_maxreaders (MDB_env * env, unsigned int * readers)
Get the maximum number of threads/reader slots for the environment.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
readers Address of an integer to store the number of readers
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
static int ESECT mdb_fname_init (const char * path, unsigned envflags, MDB_name * fname)
[static]
Set up filename + scratch area for filename suffix, for opening files. It should be freed
with mdb_fname_destroy(). On Windows, paths are converted from char *UTF-8 to wchar_t
*UTF-16.
Parameters
path Pathname for mdb_env_open().
envflags Whether a subdir and/or lockfile will be used.
fname Resulting filename, with room for a suffix if necessary.
static int ESECT mdb_fopen (const MDB_env * env, MDB_name * fname, enum mdb_fopen_type which,
mdb_mode_t mode, HANDLE * res) [static]
Open an LMDB file.
Parameters
env The LMDB environment.
fname Path from from mdb_fname_init(). A suffix is appended if necessary to create the
filename, without changing mn_len.
which Determines file type, access mode, etc.
mode The Unix permissions for the file, if we create it.
res Resulting file handle.
Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure.
static int ESECT mdb_env_open2 (MDB_env * env) [static]
Further setup required for opening an LMDB environment
static void mdb_env_reader_dest (void * ptr) [static]
Release a reader thread's slot in the reader lock table. This function is called
automatically when a thread exits.
Parameters
ptr This points to the slot in the reader lock table.
static int ESECT mdb_env_share_locks (MDB_env * env, int * excl) [static]
Downgrade the exclusive lock on the region back to shared
static int ESECT mdb_env_excl_lock (MDB_env * env, int * excl) [static]
Try to get exclusive lock, otherwise shared. Maintain *excl = -1: no/unknown lock, 0:
shared, 1: exclusive.
static int ESECT mdb_env_setup_locks (MDB_env * env, MDB_name * fname, int mode, int * excl)
[static]
Open and/or initialize the lock region for the environment.
Parameters
env The LMDB environment.
fname Filename + scratch area, from mdb_fname_init().
mode The Unix permissions for the file, if we create it.
excl In -1, out lock type: -1 none, 0 shared, 1 exclusive
Returns
0 on success, non-zero on failure.
int ESECT mdb_env_open (MDB_env * env, const char * path, unsigned int flags, mdb_mode_t mode)
Open an environment handle. If this function fails, mdb_env_close() must be called to
discard the MDB_env handle.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
path The directory in which the database files reside. This directory must already
exist and be writable.
flags Special options for this environment. This parameter must be set to 0 or by
bitwise OR'ing together one or more of the values described here. Flags set by
mdb_env_set_flags() are also used.
· 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.
· MDB_NOSUBDIR By default, LMDB creates its environment in a directory whose pathname
is given in path, and creates its data and lock files under that directory. With
this option, path is used as-is for the database main data file. The database lock
file is the path with '-lock' appended.
· 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.
· 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).
· 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().
· 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().
· 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().
· 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.
· 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.
· 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.
· 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().
mode The UNIX permissions to set on created files and semaphores. This parameter is
ignored on Windows.
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· MDB_VERSION_MISMATCH - the version of the LMDB library doesn't match the version
that created the database environment.
· MDB_INVALID - the environment file headers are corrupted.
· ENOENT - the directory specified by the path parameter doesn't exist.
· EACCES - the user didn't have permission to access the environment files.
· EAGAIN - the environment was locked by another process.
void ESECT mdb_env_close (MDB_env * env)
Close the environment and release the memory map. Only a single thread may call this
function. All transactions, databases, and cursors must already be closed before calling
this function. Attempts to use any such handles after calling this function will cause a
SIGSEGV. The environment handle will be freed and must not be used again after this call.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
static int mdb_cmp_long (const MDB_val * a, const MDB_val * b) [static]
Compare two items pointing at aligned size_t's
static int mdb_cmp_int (const MDB_val * a, const MDB_val * b) [static]
Compare two items pointing at aligned unsigned int's.
This is also set as MDB_INTEGERDUP|MDB_DUPFIXED's MDB_dbx.md_dcmp, but mdb_cmp_clong() is
called instead if the data type is size_t.
static int mdb_cmp_cint (const MDB_val * a, const MDB_val * b) [static]
Compare two items pointing at unsigned ints of unknown alignment. Nodes and keys are
guaranteed to be 2-byte aligned.
static int mdb_cmp_memn (const MDB_val * a, const MDB_val * b) [static]
Compare two items lexically
static int mdb_cmp_memnr (const MDB_val * a, const MDB_val * b) [static]
Compare two items in reverse byte order
static int mdb_page_search_lowest (MDB_cursor * mc) [static]
Search for the lowest key under the current branch page. This just bypasses a NUMKEYS
check in the current page before calling mdb_page_search_root(), because the callers are
all in situations where the current page is known to be underfilled.
int mdb_get (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_dbi dbi, MDB_val * key, MDB_val * data)
Get items from a database. This function retrieves key/data pairs from the database. The
address and length of the data associated with the specified key are returned in the
structure to which data refers. If the database supports duplicate keys (MDB_DUPSORT) then
the first data item for the key will be returned. Retrieval of other items requires the
use of mdb_cursor_get().
Note
The memory pointed to by the returned values is owned by the database. The caller need
not dispose of the memory, and may not modify it in any way. For values returned in a
read-only transaction any modification attempts will cause a SIGSEGV.
Values returned from the database are valid only until a subsequent update operation,
or the end of the transaction.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
dbi A database handle returned by mdb_dbi_open()
key The key to search for in the database
data The data corresponding to the key
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· MDB_NOTFOUND - the key was not in the database.
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
int mdb_cursor_get (MDB_cursor * cursor, MDB_val * key, MDB_val * data, MDB_cursor_op op)
Retrieve by cursor. This function retrieves key/data pairs from the database. The address
and length of the key are returned in the object to which key refers (except for the case
of the MDB_SET option, in which the key object is unchanged), and the address and length
of the data are returned in the object to which data refers. See mdb_get() for
restrictions on using the output values.
Parameters
cursor A cursor handle returned by mdb_cursor_open()
key The key for a retrieved item
data The data of a retrieved item
op A cursor operation MDB_cursor_op
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· MDB_NOTFOUND - no matching key found.
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
static int mdb_cursor_touch (MDB_cursor * mc) [static]
Touch all the pages in the cursor stack. Set mc_top. Makes sure all the pages are
writable, before attempting a write operation.
Parameters
mc The cursor to operate on.
int mdb_cursor_put (MDB_cursor * cursor, MDB_val * key, MDB_val * data, unsigned int flags)
Store by cursor. This function stores key/data pairs into the database. The cursor is
positioned at the new item, or on failure usually near it.
Note
Earlier documentation incorrectly said errors would leave the state of the cursor
unchanged.
Parameters
cursor A cursor handle returned by mdb_cursor_open()
key The key operated on.
data The data operated on.
flags Options for this operation. This parameter must be set to 0 or one of the values
described here.
· MDB_CURRENT - replace the item at the current cursor position. The key parameter
must still be provided, and must match it. If using sorted duplicates (MDB_DUPSORT)
the data item must still sort into the same place. This is intended to be used when
the new data is the same size as the old. Otherwise it will simply perform a delete
of the old record followed by an insert.
· MDB_NODUPDATA - enter the new key/data pair only if it does not already appear in
the database. This flag may only be specified if the database was opened with
MDB_DUPSORT. The function will return MDB_KEYEXIST if the key/data pair already
appears in the database.
· MDB_NOOVERWRITE - enter the new key/data pair only if the key does not already
appear in the database. The function will return MDB_KEYEXIST if the key already
appears in the database, even if the database supports duplicates (MDB_DUPSORT).
· MDB_RESERVE - reserve space for data of the given size, but don't copy the given
data. Instead, return a pointer to the reserved space, which the caller can fill in
later - before the next update operation or the transaction ends. This saves an
extra memcpy if the data is being generated later. This flag must not be specified
if the database was opened with MDB_DUPSORT.
· MDB_APPEND - append the given key/data pair to the end of the database. No key
comparisons are performed. This option allows fast bulk loading when keys are
already known to be in the correct order. Loading unsorted keys with this flag will
cause a MDB_KEYEXIST error.
· MDB_APPENDDUP - as above, but for sorted dup data.
· MDB_MULTIPLE - store multiple contiguous data elements in a single request. This
flag may only be specified if the database was opened with MDB_DUPFIXED. The data
argument must be an array of two MDB_vals. The mv_size of the first MDB_val must be
the size of a single data element. The mv_data of the first MDB_val must point to
the beginning of the array of contiguous data elements. The mv_size of the second
MDB_val must be the count of the number of data elements to store. On return this
field will be set to the count of the number of elements actually written. The
mv_data of the second MDB_val is unused.
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· MDB_MAP_FULL - the database is full, see mdb_env_set_mapsize().
· MDB_TXN_FULL - the transaction has too many dirty pages.
· EACCES - an attempt was made to write in a read-only transaction.
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
int mdb_cursor_del (MDB_cursor * cursor, unsigned int flags)
Delete current key/data pair. This function deletes the key/data pair to which the cursor
refers. This does not invalidate the cursor, so operations such as MDB_NEXT can still be
used on it. Both MDB_NEXT and MDB_GET_CURRENT will return the same record after this
operation.
Parameters
cursor A cursor handle returned by mdb_cursor_open()
flags Options for this operation. This parameter must be set to 0 or one of the values
described here.
· MDB_NODUPDATA - delete all of the data items for the current key. This flag may only
be specified if the database was opened with MDB_DUPSORT.
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EACCES - an attempt was made to write in a read-only transaction.
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
int mdb_cursor_open (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_dbi dbi, MDB_cursor ** cursor)
Create a cursor handle. A cursor is associated with a specific transaction and database. A
cursor cannot be used when its database handle is closed. Nor when its transaction has
ended, except with mdb_cursor_renew(). It can be discarded with mdb_cursor_close(). A
cursor in a write-transaction can be closed before its transaction ends, and will
otherwise be closed when its transaction ends. A cursor in a read-only transaction must be
closed explicitly, before or after its transaction ends. It can be reused with
mdb_cursor_renew() before finally closing it.
Note
Earlier documentation said that cursors in every transaction were closed when the
transaction committed or aborted.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
dbi A database handle returned by mdb_dbi_open()
cursor Address where the new MDB_cursor handle will be stored
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
int mdb_cursor_renew (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_cursor * cursor)
Renew a cursor handle. A cursor is associated with a specific transaction and database.
Cursors that are only used in read-only transactions may be re-used, to avoid unnecessary
malloc/free overhead. The cursor may be associated with a new read-only transaction, and
referencing the same database handle as it was created with. This may be done whether the
previous transaction is live or dead.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
cursor A cursor handle returned by mdb_cursor_open()
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
int mdb_cursor_count (MDB_cursor * cursor, size_t * countp)
Return count of duplicates for current key. This call is only valid on databases that
support sorted duplicate data items MDB_DUPSORT.
Parameters
cursor A cursor handle returned by mdb_cursor_open()
countp Address where the count will be stored
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - cursor is not initialized, or an invalid parameter was specified.
void mdb_cursor_close (MDB_cursor * cursor)
Close a cursor handle. The cursor handle will be freed and must not be used again after
this call. Its transaction must still be live if it is a write-transaction.
Parameters
cursor A cursor handle returned by mdb_cursor_open()
MDB_txn* mdb_cursor_txn (MDB_cursor * cursor)
Return the cursor's transaction handle.
Parameters
cursor A cursor handle returned by mdb_cursor_open()
MDB_dbi mdb_cursor_dbi (MDB_cursor * cursor)
Return the cursor's database handle.
Parameters
cursor A cursor handle returned by mdb_cursor_open()
static void mdb_cursor_copy (const MDB_cursor * csrc, MDB_cursor * cdst) [static]
Copy the contents of a cursor.
Parameters
csrc The cursor to copy from.
cdst The cursor to copy to.
int mdb_del (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_dbi dbi, MDB_val * key, MDB_val * data)
Delete items from a database. This function removes key/data pairs from the database. If
the database does not support sorted duplicate data items (MDB_DUPSORT) the data parameter
is ignored. If the database supports sorted duplicates and the data parameter is NULL, all
of the duplicate data items for the key will be deleted. Otherwise, if the data parameter
is non-NULL only the matching data item will be deleted. This function will return
MDB_NOTFOUND if the specified key/data pair is not in the database.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
dbi A database handle returned by mdb_dbi_open()
key The key to delete from the database
data The data to delete
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EACCES - an attempt was made to write in a read-only transaction.
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
int mdb_put (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_dbi dbi, MDB_val * key, MDB_val * data, unsigned int flags)
Store items into a database. This function stores key/data pairs in the database. The
default behavior is to enter the new key/data pair, replacing any previously existing key
if duplicates are disallowed, or adding a duplicate data item if duplicates are allowed
(MDB_DUPSORT).
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
dbi A database handle returned by mdb_dbi_open()
key The key to store in the database
data The data to store
flags Special options for this operation. This parameter must be set to 0 or by
bitwise OR'ing together one or more of the values described here.
· MDB_NODUPDATA - enter the new key/data pair only if it does not already appear in
the database. This flag may only be specified if the database was opened with
MDB_DUPSORT. The function will return MDB_KEYEXIST if the key/data pair already
appears in the database.
· MDB_NOOVERWRITE - enter the new key/data pair only if the key does not already
appear in the database. The function will return MDB_KEYEXIST if the key already
appears in the database, even if the database supports duplicates (MDB_DUPSORT). The
data parameter will be set to point to the existing item.
· MDB_RESERVE - reserve space for data of the given size, but don't copy the given
data. Instead, return a pointer to the reserved space, which the caller can fill in
later - before the next update operation or the transaction ends. This saves an
extra memcpy if the data is being generated later. LMDB does nothing else with this
memory, the caller is expected to modify all of the space requested. This flag must
not be specified if the database was opened with MDB_DUPSORT.
· MDB_APPEND - append the given key/data pair to the end of the database. This option
allows fast bulk loading when keys are already known to be in the correct order.
Loading unsorted keys with this flag will cause a MDB_KEYEXIST error.
· MDB_APPENDDUP - as above, but for sorted dup data.
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· MDB_MAP_FULL - the database is full, see mdb_env_set_mapsize().
· MDB_TXN_FULL - the transaction has too many dirty pages.
· EACCES - an attempt was made to write in a read-only transaction.
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.

static int ESECT mdb_env_cthr_toggle (mdb_copy * my, int adjust) [static]
Give buffer and/or MDB_EOF to writer thread, await unused buffer.
Parameters
my control structure.
adjust (1 to hand off 1 buffer) | (MDB_EOF when ending).
static int ESECT mdb_env_cwalk (mdb_copy * my, pgno_t * pg, int flags) [static]
Depth-first tree traversal for compacting copy.
Parameters
my control structure.
pg database root.
flags includes F_DUPDATA if it is a sorted-duplicate sub-DB.

Copy environment with compaction.
static int ESECT mdb_env_copyfd0 (MDB_env * env, HANDLE fd) [static]
Copy environment as-is.
int ESECT mdb_env_copy2 (MDB_env * env, const char * path, unsigned int flags)
Copy an LMDB environment to the specified path, with options. This function may be used to
make a backup of an existing environment. No lockfile is created, since it gets recreated
at need.
Note
This call can trigger significant file size growth if run in parallel with write
transactions, because it employs a read-only transaction. See long-lived transactions
under Caveats.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create(). It must have already been
opened successfully.
path The directory in which the copy will reside. This directory must already exist
and be writable but must otherwise be empty.
flags Special options for this operation. This parameter must be set to 0 or by
bitwise OR'ing together one or more of the values described here.
· MDB_CP_COMPACT - Perform compaction while copying: omit free pages and sequentially
renumber all pages in output. This option consumes more CPU and runs more slowly
than the default. Currently it fails if the environment has suffered a page leak.
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
int ESECT mdb_env_copy (MDB_env * env, const char * path)
Copy an LMDB environment to the specified path. This function may be used to make a backup
of an existing environment. No lockfile is created, since it gets recreated at need.
Note
This call can trigger significant file size growth if run in parallel with write
transactions, because it employs a read-only transaction. See long-lived transactions
under Caveats.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create(). It must have already been
opened successfully.
path The directory in which the copy will reside. This directory must already exist
and be writable but must otherwise be empty.
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
int ESECT mdb_env_set_flags (MDB_env * env, unsigned int flags, int onoff)
Set environment flags. This may be used to set some flags in addition to those from
mdb_env_open(), or to unset these flags. If several threads change the flags at the same
time, the result is undefined.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
flags The flags to change, bitwise OR'ed together
onoff A non-zero value sets the flags, zero clears them.
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
int ESECT mdb_env_get_flags (MDB_env * env, unsigned int * flags)
Get environment flags.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
flags The address of an integer to store the flags
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
int ESECT mdb_env_set_userctx (MDB_env * env, void * ctx)
Set application information associated with the MDB_env.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
ctx An arbitrary pointer for whatever the application needs.
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
void* ESECT mdb_env_get_userctx (MDB_env * env)
Get the application information associated with the MDB_env.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
Returns
The pointer set by mdb_env_set_userctx().
int ESECT mdb_env_set_assert (MDB_env * env, MDB_assert_func * func)
Set or reset the assert() callback of the environment. Disabled if liblmdb is buillt with
NDEBUG.
Note
This hack should become obsolete as lmdb's error handling matures.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create().
func An MDB_assert_func function, or 0.
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
int ESECT mdb_env_get_path (MDB_env * env, const char ** path)
Return the path that was used in mdb_env_open().
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
path Address of a string pointer to contain the path. This is the actual string in the
environment, not a copy. It should not be altered in any way.
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
int ESECT mdb_env_get_fd (MDB_env * env, mdb_filehandle_t * fd)
Return the filedescriptor for the given environment. This function may be called after
fork(), so the descriptor can be closed before exec*(). Other LMDB file descriptors have
FD_CLOEXEC. (Until LMDB 0.9.18, only the lockfile had that.)
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
fd Address of a mdb_filehandle_t to contain the descriptor.
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
static int ESECT mdb_stat0 (MDB_env * env, MDB_db * db, MDB_stat * arg) [static]
Common code for mdb_stat() and mdb_env_stat().
Parameters
env the environment to operate in.
db the MDB_db record containing the stats to return.
arg the address of an MDB_stat structure to receive the stats.
Returns
0, this function always succeeds.
int ESECT mdb_env_stat (MDB_env * env, MDB_stat * stat)
Return statistics about the LMDB environment.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
stat The address of an MDB_stat structure where the statistics will be copied
int ESECT mdb_env_info (MDB_env * env, MDB_envinfo * stat)
Return information about the LMDB environment.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
stat The address of an MDB_envinfo structure where the information will be copied
int mdb_dbi_open (MDB_txn * txn, const char * name, unsigned int flags, MDB_dbi * dbi)
Open a database in the environment. A database handle denotes the name and parameters of a
database, independently of whether such a database exists. The database handle may be
discarded by calling mdb_dbi_close(). The old database handle is returned if the database
was already open. The handle may only be closed once.
The database handle will be private to the current transaction until the transaction is
successfully committed. If the transaction is aborted the handle will be closed
automatically. After a successful commit the handle will reside in the shared environment,
and may be used by other transactions.
This function must not be called from multiple concurrent transactions in the same
process. A transaction that uses this function must finish (either commit or abort) before
any other transaction in the process may use this function.
To use named databases (with name != NULL), mdb_env_set_maxdbs() must be called before
opening the environment. Database names are keys in the unnamed database, and may be read
but not written.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
name The name of the database to open. If only a single database is needed in the
environment, this value may be NULL.
flags Special options for this database. This parameter must be set to 0 or by bitwise
OR'ing together one or more of the values described here.
· MDB_REVERSEKEY Keys are strings to be compared in reverse order, from the end of the
strings to the beginning. By default, Keys are treated as strings and compared from
beginning to end.
· MDB_DUPSORT Duplicate keys may be used in the database. (Or, from another
perspective, keys may have multiple data items, stored in sorted order.) By default
keys must be unique and may have only a single data item.
· MDB_INTEGERKEY Keys are binary integers in native byte order, either unsigned int or
size_t, and will be sorted as such. The keys must all be of the same size.
· MDB_DUPFIXED This flag may only be used in combination with MDB_DUPSORT. This option
tells the library that the data items for this database are all the same size, which
allows further optimizations in storage and retrieval. When all data items are the
same size, the MDB_GET_MULTIPLE, MDB_NEXT_MULTIPLE and MDB_PREV_MULTIPLE cursor
operations may be used to retrieve multiple items at once.
· MDB_INTEGERDUP This option specifies that duplicate data items are binary integers,
similar to MDB_INTEGERKEY keys.
· MDB_REVERSEDUP This option specifies that duplicate data items should be compared as
strings in reverse order.
· MDB_CREATE Create the named database if it doesn't exist. This option is not allowed
in a read-only transaction or a read-only environment.
dbi Address where the new MDB_dbi handle will be stored
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· MDB_NOTFOUND - the specified database doesn't exist in the environment and
MDB_CREATE was not specified.
· MDB_DBS_FULL - too many databases have been opened. See mdb_env_set_maxdbs().
int ESECT mdb_stat (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_dbi dbi, MDB_stat * stat)
Retrieve statistics for a database.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
dbi A database handle returned by mdb_dbi_open()
stat The address of an MDB_stat structure where the statistics will be copied
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
void mdb_dbi_close (MDB_env * env, MDB_dbi dbi)
Close a database handle. Normally unnecessary. Use with care: This call is not mutex
protected. Handles should only be closed by a single thread, and only if no other threads
are going to reference the database handle or one of its cursors any further. Do not close
a handle if an existing transaction has modified its database. Doing so can cause
misbehavior from database corruption to errors like MDB_BAD_VALSIZE (since the DB name is
gone).
Closing a database handle is not necessary, but lets mdb_dbi_open() reuse the handle
value. Usually it's better to set a bigger mdb_env_set_maxdbs(), unless that value would
be large.
Parameters
env An environment handle returned by mdb_env_create()
dbi A database handle returned by mdb_dbi_open()
int mdb_dbi_flags (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_dbi dbi, unsigned int * flags)
Retrieve the DB flags for a database handle.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
dbi A database handle returned by mdb_dbi_open()
flags Address where the flags will be returned.
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
int mdb_drop (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_dbi dbi, int del)
Empty or delete+close a database. See mdb_dbi_close() for restrictions about closing the
DB handle.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
dbi A database handle returned by mdb_dbi_open()
del 0 to empty the DB, 1 to delete it from the environment and close the DB handle.
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
int mdb_set_compare (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_dbi dbi, MDB_cmp_func * cmp)
Set a custom key comparison function for a database. The comparison function is called
whenever it is necessary to compare a key specified by the application with a key
currently stored in the database. If no comparison function is specified, and no special
key flags were specified with mdb_dbi_open(), the keys are compared lexically, with
shorter keys collating before longer keys.
Warning
This function must be called before any data access functions are used, otherwise data
corruption may occur. The same comparison function must be used by every program
accessing the database, every time the database is used.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
dbi A database handle returned by mdb_dbi_open()
cmp A MDB_cmp_func function
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
int mdb_set_dupsort (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_dbi dbi, MDB_cmp_func * cmp)
Set a custom data comparison function for a MDB_DUPSORT database. This comparison function
is called whenever it is necessary to compare a data item specified by the application
with a data item currently stored in the database. This function only takes effect if the
database was opened with the MDB_DUPSORT flag. If no comparison function is specified, and
no special key flags were specified with mdb_dbi_open(), the data items are compared
lexically, with shorter items collating before longer items.
Warning
This function must be called before any data access functions are used, otherwise data
corruption may occur. The same comparison function must be used by every program
accessing the database, every time the database is used.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
dbi A database handle returned by mdb_dbi_open()
cmp A MDB_cmp_func function
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
int mdb_set_relfunc (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_dbi dbi, MDB_rel_func * rel)
Set a relocation function for a MDB_FIXEDMAP database.
Todo
The relocation function is called whenever it is necessary to move the data of an item
to a different position in the database (e.g. through tree balancing operations,
shifts as a result of adds or deletes, etc.). It is intended to allow
address/position-dependent data items to be stored in a database in an environment
opened with the MDB_FIXEDMAP option. Currently the relocation feature is unimplemented
and setting this function has no effect.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
dbi A database handle returned by mdb_dbi_open()
rel A MDB_rel_func function
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
int mdb_set_relctx (MDB_txn * txn, MDB_dbi dbi, void * ctx)
Set a context pointer for a MDB_FIXEDMAP database's relocation function. See
mdb_set_relfunc and MDB_rel_func for more details.
Parameters
txn A transaction handle returned by mdb_txn_begin()
dbi A database handle returned by mdb_dbi_open()
ctx An arbitrary pointer for whatever the application needs. It will be passed to the
callback function set by mdb_set_relfunc as its relctx parameter whenever the callback
is invoked.
Returns
A non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. Some possible errors are:
· EINVAL - an invalid parameter was specified.
int ESECT mdb_env_get_maxkeysize (MDB_env * env)
Get the maximum size of keys and MDB_DUPSORT data we can write. Depends on the compile-
time constant MDB_MAXKEYSIZE. Default 511. See MDB_val.
