+ * @brief memory-mapped database library
+ *
+ * @mainpage MDB Memory-Mapped Database Manager
+ * MDB is a Btree-based database management library modeled loosely on the
+ * BerkeleyDB API, but much simplified. The entire database is exposed
+ * in a read-only memory map, and all data fetches return data directly
+ * from the mapped memory, so no malloc's or memcpy's occur during
+ * data fetches. As such, the library is extremely simple because it
+ * requires no page caching layer of its own, and it is extremely high
+ * performance and memory-efficient. It is also fully transactional with
+ * full ACID semantics, and because the memory map is read-only, the
+ * database integrity cannot be corrupted by stray pointer writes from
+ * application code.
+ *
+ * The library is fully thread-aware and supports concurrent read/write
+ * access from multiple processes and threads. Data pages use a copy-on-
+ * write strategy so no active data pages are ever overwritten, which
+ * also provides resistance to corruption and eliminates the need of any
+ * special recovery procedures after a system crash. Writes are fully
+ * serialized; only one write transaction may be active at a time, which
+ * guarantees that writers can never deadlock. The database structure is
+ * multi-versioned so readers run with no locks; writers cannot block
+ * readers, and readers don't block writers.
+ *
+ * Unlike other well-known database mechanisms which use either write-ahead
+ * transaction logs or append-only data writes, MDB requires no maintenance
+ * during operation. Both write-ahead loggers and append-only databases
+ * require periodic checkpointing and/or compaction of their log or database
+ * files otherwise they grow without bound. MDB tracks free pages within
+ * the database and re-uses them for new write operations, so the database
+ * size does not grow without bound in normal use.
