NAME
pmemkv_tx - Transactions API for libpmemkv
This API is EXPERIMENTAL and might change.
SYNOPSIS
#include <libpmemkv.h>
int pmemkv_tx_begin(pmemkv_db *db, pmemkv_tx **tx);
int pmemkv_tx_put(pmemkv_tx *tx, const char *k, size_t kb, const char *v, size_t vb);
int pmemkv_tx_remove(pmemkv_tx *tx, const char *k, size_t kb);
int pmemkv_tx_commit(pmemkv_tx *tx);
void pmemkv_tx_abort(pmemkv_tx *tx);
void pmemkv_tx_end(pmemkv_tx *tx);
DESCRIPTION
The transaction allows grouping put and remove operations into a single atomic action (with respect to
persistence and concurrency). Concurrent engines provide transactions with ACID (atomicity, consistency,
isolation, durability) properties. Transactions for single threaded engines provide atomicity,
consistency and durability. Actions in a transaction are executed in the order in which they were
called.
int pmemkv_tx_begin(pmemkv_db *db, pmemkv_tx **tx);
Starts a pmemkv transaction and stores a pointer to a pmemkv_tx instance in *tx.
int pmemkv_tx_put(pmemkv_tx *tx, const char *k, size_t kb, const char *v, size_t vb);
Inserts a key-value pair into pmemkv database. kb is the length of the key k and vb is the length
of value v. When this function returns, caller is free to reuse both buffers. The inserted
element is visible only after calling pmemkv_tx_commit.
int pmemkv_tx_remove(pmemkv_tx *tx, const char *k, size_t kb);
Removes record with the key k of length kb. The removed elements are still visible until calling
pmemkv_tx_commit. This function will succeed even if there is no element in the database.
int pmemkv_tx_commit(pmemkv_tx *tx);
Commits the transaction. All operations of this transaction are applied as a single power fail-
safe atomic action.
void pmemkv_tx_abort(pmemkv_tx *tx);
Discards all uncommitted operations.
void pmemkv_tx_end(pmemkv_tx *tx);
Deletes the pmemkv transaction object and discards all uncommitted operations.
ERRORS
Each function, except for pmemkv_tx_abort() and pmemkv_tx_end() returns status. Possible return values
are listed in libpmemkv(3).
EXAMPLE
The following example is taken from examples/pmemkv_transaction_c directory.
Usage of pmemkv transaction in C:
#include <assert.h>
#include <libpmemkv.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define ASSERT(expr) \
do { \
if (!(expr)) \
puts(pmemkv_errormsg()); \
assert(expr); \
} while (0)
#define LOG(msg) puts(msg)
