NAME

       tcbdb - the B+ tree database API

DESCRIPTION

       B+  tree  database is a file containing a B+ tree and is handled with the B+ tree database
       API.

       To use the B+ tree database API,  include  `tcutil.h',  `tcbdb.h',  and  related  standard
       header files.  Usually, write the following description near the front of a source file.

              #include <tcutil.h>
              #include <tcbdb.h>
              #include <stdlib.h>
              #include <time.h>
              #include <stdbool.h>
              #include <stdint.h>

       Objects  whose type is pointer to `TCBDB' are used to handle B+ tree databases.  A B+ tree
       database object is created with the function `tcbdbnew' and is deleted with  the  function
       `tcbdbdel'.   To  avoid  memory leak, it is important to delete every object when it is no
       longer in use.

       Before operations to store or retrieve records, it is necessary to open  a  database  file
       and connect the B+ tree database object to it.  The function `tcbdbopen' is used to open a
       database file and the function `tcbdbclose' is used to close the database file.  To  avoid
       data  missing  or  corruption,  it is important to close every database file when it is no
       longer in use.  It is forbidden for multiple database objects in a  process  to  open  the
       same database at the same time.

API

       The  function `tcbdberrmsg' is used in order to get the message string corresponding to an
       error code.

              const char *tcbdberrmsg(int ecode);
                     `ecode' specifies the error code.
                     The return value is the message string of the error code.

       The function `tcbdbnew' is used in order to create a B+ tree database object.

              TCBDB *tcbdbnew(void);
                     The return value is the new B+ tree database object.

       The function `tcbdbdel' is used in order to delete a B+ tree database object.

              void tcbdbdel(TCBDB *bdb);
                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object.
                     If the database is not closed, it  is  closed  implicitly.   Note  that  the
                     deleted object and its derivatives can not be used anymore.

       The  function  `tcbdbecode'  is  used in order to get the last happened error code of a B+
       tree database object.

              int tcbdbecode(TCBDB *bdb);
                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object.
                     The return value is the last happened error code.
                     The following error codes are defined: `TCESUCCESS' for success, `TCETHREAD'
                     for  threading  error,  `TCEINVALID'  for invalid operation, `TCENOFILE' for
                     file not found, `TCENOPERM' for no permission, `TCEMETA'  for  invalid  meta
                     data,  `TCERHEAD'  for  invalid  record  header,  `TCEOPEN'  for open error,
                     `TCECLOSE' for close error, `TCETRUNC' for trunc error, `TCESYNC'  for  sync
                     error,  `TCESTAT'  for  stat  error, `TCESEEK' for seek error, `TCEREAD' for
                     read error, `TCEWRITE' for write error, `TCEMMAP' for mmap error,  `TCELOCK'
                     for  lock error, `TCEUNLINK' for unlink error, `TCERENAME' for rename error,
                     `TCEMKDIR' for mkdir  error,  `TCERMDIR'  for  rmdir  error,  `TCEKEEP'  for
                     existing   record,  `TCENOREC'  for  no  record  found,  and  `TCEMISC'  for
                     miscellaneous error.

       The function `tcbdbsetmutex' is used in order to set mutual exclusion control of a B+ tree
       database object for threading.

              bool tcbdbsetmutex(TCBDB *bdb);
                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object which is not opened.
                     If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.
                     Note  that the mutual exclusion control of the database should be set before
                     the database is opened.

       The function `tcbdbsetcmpfunc' is used in order to set the custom comparison function of a
       B+ tree database object.

              bool tcbdbsetcmpfunc(TCBDB *bdb, TCCMP cmp, void *cmpop);
                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object which is not opened.
                     `cmp'  specifies the pointer to the custom comparison function.  It receives
                     five parameters.  The first parameter is the pointer to the  region  of  one
                     key.   The second parameter is the size of the region of one key.  The third
                     parameter is the pointer to  the  region  of  the  other  key.   The  fourth
                     parameter  is  the size of the region of the other key.  The fifth parameter
                     is the pointer to the optional opaque object.  It returns  positive  if  the
                     former is big, negative if the latter is big, 0 if both are equivalent.
                     `cmpop'  specifies  an  arbitrary  pointer to be given as a parameter of the
                     comparison function.  If it is not needed, `NULL' can be specified.
                     If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.
                     The default comparison function compares keys  of  two  records  by  lexical
                     order.     The    functions    `tccmplexical'   (default),   `tccmpdecimal',
                     `tccmpint32', and `tccmpint64'  are  built-in.   Note  that  the  comparison
                     function   should   be   set  before  the  database  is  opened.   Moreover,
                     user-defined comparison functions should be set every time the  database  is
                     being opened.

       The  function  `tcbdbtune'  is  used  in  order  to set the tuning parameters of a B+ tree

              int8_t fpow, uint8_t opts);
                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object which is not opened.
                     `lmemb'  specifies  the  number  of members in each leaf page.  If it is not
                     more than 0, the default value is specified.  The default value is 128.
                     `nmemb' specifies the number of members in each non-leaf page.  If it is not
                     more than 0, the default value is specified.  The default value is 256.
                     `bnum'  specifies  the number of elements of the bucket array.  If it is not
                     more than 0, the default value is specified.  The default  value  is  16381.
                     Suggested  size of the bucket array is about from 1 to 4 times of the number
                     of all pages to be stored.
                     `apow' specifies the size of record alignment by  power  of  2.   If  it  is
                     negative,  the  default value is specified.  The default value is 8 standing
                     for 2^8=256.
                     `fpow' specifies the maximum number of elements of the free  block  pool  by
                     power of 2.  If it is negative, the default value is specified.  The default
                     value is 10 standing for 2^10=1024.
                     `opts' specifies options by bitwise-or: `BDBTLARGE' specifies that the  size
                     of  the  database  can  be  larger  than  2GB  by using 64-bit bucket array,
                     `BDBTDEFLATE' specifies that each page is compressed with Deflate  encoding,
                     `BDBTBZIP'  specifies  that  each  page  is  compressed with BZIP2 encoding,
                     `BDBTTCBS' specifies that each page is compressed with TCBS encoding.
                     If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.
                     Note that the tuning parameters should be set before the database is opened.

       The function `tcbdbsetcache' is used in order to set the caching parameters of a  B+  tree
       database object.

              bool tcbdbsetcache(TCBDB *bdb, int32_t lcnum, int32_t ncnum);
                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object which is not opened.
                     `lcnum'  specifies  the maximum number of leaf nodes to be cached.  If it is
                     not more than 0, the default value is specified.  The default value is 1024.
                     `ncnum' specifies the maximum number of non-leaf nodes to be cached.  If  it
                     is  not  more  than 0, the default value is specified.  The default value is
                     512.
                     If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.
                     Note that the caching parameters  should  be  set  before  the  database  is
                     opened.

       The  function  `tcbdbsetxmsiz' is used in order to set the size of the extra mapped memory
       of a B+ tree database object.

                     `xmsiz' specifies the size of the extra mapped memory.  If it  is  not  more
                     than 0, the extra mapped memory is disabled.  It is disabled by default.
                     If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.
                     Note  that  the  mapping  parameters  should  be  set before the database is
                     opened.

       The function `tcbdbsetdfunit' is used in order  to  set  the  unit  step  number  of  auto

              bool tcbdbsetdfunit(TCBDB *bdb, int32_t dfunit);
                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object which is not opened.
                     `dfunit'  specifie the unit step number.  If it is not more than 0, the auto
                     defragmentation is disabled.  It is disabled by default.
                     If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.
                     Note that the defragmentation parameter should be set before the database is
                     opened.

                     `BDBOREADER' as a reader.  If the mode is `BDBOWRITER', the following may be
                     added by bitwise-or: `BDBOCREAT', which means it creates a new  database  if
                     not  exist, `BDBOTRUNC', which means it creates a new database regardless if
                     one exists, `BDBOTSYNC', which means every transaction synchronizes  updated
                     contents  with  the  device.   Both  of `BDBOREADER' and `BDBOWRITER' can be
                     added to by bitwise-or: `BDBONOLCK', which means it opens the database  file
                     without  file  locking,  or  `BDBOLCKNB',  which  means locking is performed
                     without blocking.

                     If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.
                     If  a  record  with the same key exists in the database, the new records are
                     placed after the existing one.

       The function `tcbdbout' is used in order to remove a record of a B+ tree database object.

                     If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.
                     If the key of duplicated records is specified, the first one is selected.

       The function `tcbdbout2' is used in order to remove a string record of a B+ tree  database
       object.

              bool tcbdbout2(TCBDB *bdb, const char *kstr);
                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object connected as a writer.
                     `kstr' specifies the string of the key.

                     of the return value is assigned.
                     If successful, the return value is the pointer to the region of the value of
                     the corresponding record.  `NULL' is returned if no record corresponds.
                     If the key of duplicated records is specified, the first  one  is  selected.
                     Because  an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of the
                     return value, the return  value  can  be  treated  as  a  character  string.
                     Because  the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call,
                     it should be released with the `free' call when it is no longer in use.

       The function `tcbdbget2' is used in order to  retrieve  a  string  record  in  a  B+  tree
       database object.

                     `kstr' specifies the string of the key.
                     If  successful,  the  return  value  is  the  string  of  the  value  of the
                     corresponding record.  `NULL' is returned if no record corresponds.
                     If the key of duplicated records is specified, the first  one  is  selected.
                     Because  the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call,
                     it should be released with the `free' call when it is no longer in use.

       The function `tcbdbget3' is used in order to retrieve a  record  in  a  B+  tree  database
       object as a volatile buffer.

                     of the return value is assigned.
                     If successful, the return value is the pointer to the region of the value of
                     the corresponding record.  `NULL' is returned if no record corresponds.
                     If  the  key  of duplicated records is specified, the first one is selected.
                     Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of  the
                     return  value,  the  return  value  can  be  treated  as a character string.
                     Because the region of the return value is volatile and it may be spoiled  by
                     another  operation  of  the database, the data should be copied into another
                     involatile buffer immediately.

       The function `tcbdbget4' is used in order to  retrieve  records  in  a  B+  tree  database
       object.

                     corresponding records.  `NULL' is returned if no record corresponds.
                     Because the object  of  the  return  value  is  created  with  the  function
                     `tclistnew',  it  should be deleted with the function `tclistdel' when it is
                     no longer in use.

                     `kstr' specifies the string of the key.
                     If   successful,  the  return  value  is  the  size  of  the  value  of  the
                     corresponding record, else, it is -1.
                     If the key of duplicated records is specified, the first one is selected.

       The function `tcbdbrange' is used in order to get keys of ranged  records  in  a  B+  tree
       database object.

                     The  return value is a list object of the keys of the corresponding records.
                     This function does never fail.  It returns an empty list even if  no  record
                     corresponds.
                     Because  the  object  of  the  return  value  is  created  with the function

                     If the corresponding record exists, the value is treated as an  integer  and
                     is added to.  If no record corresponds, a new record of the additional value
                     is stored.

       The function `tcbdbadddouble' is used in order to add a real number to a record  in  a  B+

                     This  function  is  useful to reduce the size of the database file with data
                     fragmentation by successive updating.

       The function `tcbdbvanish' is used in order to remove all records of a  B+  tree  database
       object.

              bool tcbdbvanish(TCBDB *bdb);
                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object connected as a writer.
                     If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.

       The  function `tcbdbcopy' is used in order to copy the database file of a B+ tree database
       object.

              bool tcbdbcopy(TCBDB *bdb, const char *path);
                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object.
                     `path' specifies the path of the destination file.  If it begins  with  `@',
                     the trailing substring is executed as a command line.
                     If  successful,  the  return  value  is  true,  else, it is false.  False is
                     returned if the executed command returns non-zero code.
                     The database file is assured to be kept synchronized and not modified  while
                     the  copying  or  executing  operation is in progress.  So, this function is
                     useful to create a backup file of the database file.

       The function `tcbdbtranbegin' is used in order to begin  the  transaction  of  a  B+  tree
       database object.

              bool tcbdbtranbegin(TCBDB *bdb);
                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object connected as a writer.
                     If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.
                     The  database is locked by the thread while the transaction so that only one
                     transaction can be activated with a database object at the same time.  Thus,
                     the  serializable  isolation level is assumed if every database operation is
                     performed in the transaction.  Because all pages are cached on memory  while
                     the  transaction,  the  amount  of referred records is limited by the memory
                     capacity.  If the database is closed during transaction, the transaction  is
                     aborted implicitly.

                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object connected as a writer.
                     If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.
                     Update in the transaction is fixed when it is committed successfully.

       The function `tcbdbtranabort' is used in order to abort  the  transaction  of  a  B+  tree
       database object.

              bool tcbdbtranabort(TCBDB *bdb);
                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object connected as a writer.
                     If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.
                     Update in the transaction is discarded when it is aborted.  The state of the
                     database is rollbacked to before transaction.

       The function `tcbdbpath' is used in order to get the file  path  of  a  B+  tree  database
       object.

              const char *tcbdbpath(TCBDB *bdb);
                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object.
                     The  return  value  is the path of the database file or `NULL' if the object
                     does not connect to any database file.

                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object.
                     The  return  value  is  the  number  of  records or 0 if the object does not
                     connect to any database file.

       The function `tcbdbfsiz' is used in order to get the size of the database  file  of  a  B+
       tree database object.

              uint64_t tcbdbfsiz(TCBDB *bdb);
                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object.
                     The  return  value  is the size of the database file or 0 if the object does
                     not connect to any database file.

       The function `tcbdbcurnew' is used in order to create a cursor object.

              BDBCUR *tcbdbcurnew(TCBDB *bdb);
                     `bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object.
                     The return value is the new cursor object.
                     Note that the  cursor  is  available  only  after  initialization  with  the
                     `tcbdbcurfirst'  or  the  `tcbdbcurjump' functions and so on.  Moreover, the
                     position of the cursor will be indefinite when the database is updated after
                     the initialization of the cursor.

              bool tcbdbcurlast(BDBCUR *cur);
                     `cur' specifies the cursor object.
                     If successful, the return value is  true,  else,  it  is  false.   False  is
                     returned if there is no record in the database.

                     `ksiz' specifies the size of the region of the key.
                     If successful, the return value is  true,  else,  it  is  false.   False  is
                     returned if there is no record corresponding the condition.
                     The  cursor  is  set  to  the first record corresponding the key or the next
                     substitute if completely matching record does not exist.

       The function `tcbdbcurjump2' is used in order to move a cursor  object  to  the  front  of
       records corresponding a key string.

              bool tcbdbcurjump2(BDBCUR *cur, const char *kstr);
                     `cur' specifies the cursor object.
                     `kstr' specifies the string of the key.
                     If  successful,  the  return  value  is  true,  else, it is false.  False is

                     `vsiz' specifies the size of the region of the value.
                     `cpmode' specifies detail adjustment: `BDBCPCURRENT', which means  that  the
                     value  of the current record is overwritten, `BDBCPBEFORE', which means that
                     the new record is inserted before the current  record,  `BDBCPAFTER',  which
                     means that the new record is inserted after the current record.
                     If  successful,  the  return  value  is  true,  else, it is false.  False is
                     returned when the cursor is at invalid position.
                     After insertion, the cursor is moved to the inserted record.

       The function `tcbdbcurput2' is used in order to insert a string  record  around  a  cursor
       object.

              bool tcbdbcurput2(BDBCUR *cur, const char *vstr, int cpmode);
                     `cur' specifies the cursor object of writer connection.
                     `vstr' specifies the string of the value.
                     `cpmode'  specifies  detail adjustment: `BDBCPCURRENT', which means that the
                     value of the current record is overwritten, `BDBCPBEFORE', which means  that
                     the  new  record  is inserted before the current record, `BDBCPAFTER', which
                     means that the new record is inserted after the current record.
                     If successful, the return value is  true,  else,  it  is  false.   False  is
                     returned when the cursor is at invalid position.
                     After insertion, the cursor is moved to the inserted record.

       The function `tcbdbcurout' is used in order to remove the record where a cursor object is.

       The function `tcbdbcurkey' is used in order to get the key of the record where the  cursor
       object is.

              char *tcbdbcurkey(BDBCUR *cur, int *sp);
                     `cur' specifies the cursor object.
                     `sp' specifies the pointer to the variable into which the size of the region
                     of the return value is assigned.
                     If successful, the return value is the pointer to the  region  of  the  key,
                     else,  it  is  `NULL'.   `NULL'  is  returned  when the cursor is at invalid
                     position.
                     Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of  the
                     return  value,  the  return  value  can  be  treated  as a character string.
                     Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc'  call,
                     it should be released with the `free' call when it is no longer in use.

       The function `tcbdbcurkey2' is used in order to get the key string of the record where the
       cursor object is.

              char *tcbdbcurkey2(BDBCUR *cur);
                     `cur' specifies the cursor object.
                     If successful, the return value is the  string  of  the  key,  else,  it  is
                     `NULL'.  `NULL' is returned when the cursor is at invalid position.
                     Because  the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call,
                     it should be released with the `free' call when it is no longer in use.

       The function `tcbdbcurkey3' is used in order to get the key of the record where the cursor
       object is, as a volatile buffer.

                     of the return value is assigned.
                     If successful, the return value is the pointer to the  region  of  the  key,
                     else,  it  is  `NULL'.   `NULL'  is  returned  when the cursor is at invalid
                     position.
                     Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of  the
                     return  value,  the  return  value  can  be  treated  as a character string.
                     Because the region of the return value is volatile and it may be spoiled  by
                     another  operation  of  the database, the data should be copied into another
                     involatile buffer immediately.

       The function `tcbdbcurval' is used in order to get the  value  of  the  record  where  the
       cursor object is.

              char *tcbdbcurval(BDBCUR *cur, int *sp);
                     `cur' specifies the cursor object.
                     `sp' specifies the pointer to the variable into which the size of the region
                     of the return value is assigned.
                     If successful, the return value is the pointer to the region of  the  value,
                     else,  it  is  `NULL'.   `NULL'  is  returned  when the cursor is at invalid
                     position.
                     Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of  the
                     return  value,  the  return  value  can  be  treated  as a character string.
                     Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc'  call,
                     it should be released with the `free' call when it is no longer in use.

       The  function  `tcbdbcurval2' is used in order to get the value string of the record where
       the cursor object is.

              char *tcbdbcurval2(BDBCUR *cur);
                     `cur' specifies the cursor object.
                     If successful, the return value is the string of  the  value,  else,  it  is
                     `NULL'.  `NULL' is returned when the cursor is at invalid position.
                     Because  the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call,
                     it should be released with the `free' call when it is no longer in use.

       The function `tcbdbcurval3' is used in order to get the value  of  the  record  where  the

                     `cur' specifies the cursor object.
                     `sp' specifies the pointer to the variable into which the size of the region
                     of the return value is assigned.
                     If successful, the return value is the pointer to the region of  the  value,
                     else,  it  is  `NULL'.   `NULL'  is  returned  when the cursor is at invalid
                     position.
                     Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of  the
                     return  value,  the  return  value  can  be  treated  as a character string.
                     Because the region of the return value is volatile and it may be spoiled  by
                     another  operation  of  the database, the data should be copied into another
                     involatile buffer immediately.

       The function `tcbdbcurrec' is used in order to get the key and the  value  of  the  record
       where the cursor object is.

              bool tcbdbcurrec(BDBCUR *cur, TCXSTR *kxstr, TCXSTR *vxstr);
                     `cur' specifies the cursor object.
                     `kxstr' specifies the object into which the key is wrote down.
                     `vxstr' specifies the object into which the value is wrote down.
                     If  successful,  the  return  value  is  true,  else, it is false.  False is
                     returned when the cursor is at invalid position.
