+<h2>Overview</h2>
+<p>QDBM is a library of routines for managing a database.  The database is a simple data file containing records, each is a pair of a key and a value.  Every key and value is serial bytes with variable length.  Both binary data and character string can be used as a key and a value.  There is neither concept of data tables nor data types.  Records are organazed in hash table or B+ tree.</p>
+<p>As for database of hash table, each key must be unique within a database, so it is impossible to store two or more records with a key overlaps.  The following access methods are provided to the database: storing a record with a key and a value, deleting a record by a key, retrieving a record by a key.  Moreover, traversal access to every key are provided, although the order is arbitrary.  These access methods are similar to ones of DBM (or its followers, NDBM and GDBM) library defined in the UNIX standard.  QDBM is an alternative for DBM because of its higher performance.</p>
+<p>As for database of B+ tree, records whose keys are duplicated can be stored.  Access methods of storing, deleting and retrieving are provided as with the database of hash table.  Records are stored in order by a comparing function assigned by a user.  It is possible to access each record with the cursor in ascending or descending order.  According to this mechanism, forward matching search for strings and range search for integers are realized.</p>
+<p>QDBM provides API for Ruby.  This encapsulates the basic API, the extended API and the extended API of QDBM.  A database handle can be used like an instance of `Hash'.</p>

+<h1>API of curia</h1>
+<hr />
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>require 'curia'</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+The library `curia' should be included in application codes.
+An instance of the class `Curia' is used as a database handle.
+`Curia' performs Mix-in of `Enumerable'.
+Each method of `Curia' throws an exception of `Curia::EANY' or its sub classes when an error
+occurs: `Curia::ENOERR', `Curia::EFATAL', `Curia::EMODE', `Curia::EBROKEN', `Curia::EKEEP',
+`Curia::ENOITEM', `Curia::EALLOC', `Curia::EMAP', `Curia::EOPEN', `Curia::ECLOSE',
+`Curia::ETRUNC', `Curia::ESYNC', `Curia::ESTAT', `Curia::ESEEK', `Curia::EREAD',
+`Curia::EWRITE', `Curia::ELOCK', `Curia::EUNLINK', `Curia::EMKDIR', `Curia::ERMDIR' and
+`Curia::EMISC'.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>curia = Curia::new(name, omode, bnum, dnum)</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Constructor: Get a database handle.
+`name' specifies the name of a database directory.
+`omode' specifies the connection mode: `Curia::OWRITER' as a writer, `Curia::OREADER' as a
+reader.  If the mode is `Curia::OWRITER', the following may be added by bitwise or:
+`Curia::OCREAT', which means it creates a new database if not exist, `Curia::OTRUNC', which
+means it creates a new database regardless if one exists.  Both of `Curia::OREADER' and
+`Curia::OWRITER' can be added to by bitwise or: `Curia::ONOLCK', which means it opens a
+database directory without file locking, or `Curia::OLCKNB', which means locking is
+performed without blocking.  `Curia::OCREAT' can be added to by bitwise or: `Curia::OSPARSE',
+which means it creates database files as sparse files.  If it is omitted, `Curia::OREADER'
+is specified.
+`bnum' specifies the number of elements of the bucket array.  If it is omitted or not more
+than 0, the default value is specified.  The size of a bucket array is determined on
+creating, and can not be changed except for by optimization of the database.  Suggested
+size of a bucket array is about from 0.5 to 4 times of the number of all records to store.
+`dnum' specifies the number of division of the database.  If it is omitted or not more than
+0, the default value is specified.  The number of division can not be changed from the
+initial value.  The max number of division is 512.
+The return value is the database handle.
+An exception of `Curia::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs.
+If a block parameter is given, this method works as an iterator.  A database handle is
+opened and passed via the first argument of the block.  The database handle is surely
+closed when the block is over.
+While connecting as a writer, an exclusive lock is invoked to the database directory.
+While connecting as a reader, a shared lock is invoked to the database directory.  The thread
+blocks until the lock is achieved.  If `Curia::ONOLCK' is used, the application is
+responsible for exclusion control.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>curia = Curia::open(name, omode, bnum, dnum)</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Constructor: An alias of `new'.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>bool = curia.close()</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: Close the database handle.
+The return value is always true.
+An exception of `Curia::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs.
+Because the region of a closed handle is released, it becomes impossible to use the handle.
+Updating a database is assured to be written when the handle is closed.  If a writer opens
+a database but does not close it appropriately, the database will be broken.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>curia.silent = bool</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: Set the flag whether to repress frequent exceptions.
+The return value is the assigned value.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>bool = curia.put(key, val, dmode)</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: Store a record.
+`key' specifies a key.  Although it must be an instance of String, binary data is okey.
+`val' specifies a value.  Although it must be an instance of String, binary data is okey.
+`dmode' specifies behavior when the key overlaps, by the following values: `Curia::DOVER',
+which means the specified value overwrites the existing one, `Curia::DKEEP', which means
+the existing value is kept, `Curia::DCAT', which means the specified value is concatenated
+at the end of the existing value.  If it is omitted, `Curia::DOVER' is specified.
+The return value is always true.  However, if the silent flag is true and replace is
+cancelled, false is returned instead of exception.
+An exception of `Curia::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs or replace
+is cancelled.

+<dd>
+Method: Delete a record.
+`key' specifies a key.  Although it must be an instance of String, binary data is okey.
+The return value is always true.  However, if the silent flag is true and no record
+corresponds, false is returned instead of exception.

+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>str = curia.get(key, start, max)</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: Retrieve a record.
+`key' specifies a key.  Although it must be an instance of String, binary data is okey.
+`start' specifies the offset address of the beginning of the region of the value to be read.
+If it is negative or omitted, the offset is specified as 0.
+`max' specifies the max size to be read.  If it is negative or omitted, the size to read is
+unlimited.
+The return value is an instance of the value of the corresponding record.  If the silent flag
+is true and no record corresponds, nil is returned instead of exception.
+An exception of `Curia::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs, no record
+corresponds, or the size of the value of the corresponding record is less than `max'.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>str = curia.fetch(key, defval)</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: Retrieve a record.
+`key' specifies a key.  Although it must be an instance of String, binary data is okey.
+`defval' specifies the default value used when no record corresponds.  If it is omitted, nil
+is specified.
+The return value is an instance of the value of the corresponding record, or the default
+value if no record corresponds.
+An exception of `Curia::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>str = curia[key]</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: An alias of `fetch'.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>num = curia.vsiz(key)</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: Get the size of the value of a record.
+`key' specifies a key.  Although it must be an instance of String, binary data is okey.
+The return value is the size of the value of the corresponding record.  If the silent flag
+is true and no record corresponds, -1 is returned instead of exception.
+An exception of `Curia::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs or no record
+corresponds.
+Because this method does not read the entity of a record, it is faster than `get'.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>bool = curia.iterinit()</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: Initialize the iterator of the database handle.
+The return value is always true.
+An exception of `Curia::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs.
+The iterator is used in order to access the key of every record stored in a database.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>str = curia.iternext()</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: Get the next key of the iterator.
+The return value is the value of the next key.  If the silent flag is true and no record
+corresponds, nil is returned instead of exception.
+An exception of `Curia::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs or no record
+is to be get out of the iterator.
+It is possible to access every record by iteration of calling this method.  However, it is
+not assured if updating the database is occurred while the iteration.  Besides, the order
+of this traversal access method is arbitrary, so it is not assured that the order of
+storing matches the one of the traversal access.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>bool = curia.setalign(align)</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: Set alignment of the database handle.
+`align' specifies the basic size of alignment.  If it is omitted, alignment is cleared.
+The return value is always true.
+An exception of `Curia::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs.
+If alignment is set to a database, the efficiency of overwriting values is improved.
+The size of alignment is suggested to be average size of the values of the records to be
+stored.  If alignment is positive, padding whose size is multiple number of the alignment
+is placed.  If alignment is negative, as `vsiz' is the size of a value, the size of padding
+is calculated with `(vsiz / pow(2, abs(align) - 1))'.  Because alignment setting is not
+saved in a database, you should specify alignment every opening a database.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>bool = curia.setfbpsiz(size);</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: Set the size of the free block pool.
+`size' specifies the size of the free block pool.  If it is undef, the free block pool is not
+used.
+The return value is always true.
+An exception of `Curia::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs.
+The default size of the free block pool is 16.  If the size is greater, the space efficiency
+of overwriting values is improved with the time efficiency sacrificed.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>bool = curia.sync()</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: Synchronize updating contents with the files and the devices.
+The return value is always true.
+An exception of `Curia::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs.
+This method is useful when another process uses the connected database directory.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>bool = curia.optimize(bnum)</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: Optimize the database.
+`bnum' specifies the number of the elements of the bucket array.  If it is omitted or not
+more than 0, the default value is specified.
+The return value is always true.
+An exception of `Curia::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs.
+In an alternating succession of deleting and storing with overwrite or concatenate,
+dispensable regions accumulate.  This method is useful to do away with them.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>num = curia.fsiz()</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: Get the total size of the database files.
+The return value is the total size of the database files.
+An exception of `Curia::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs.
+If the total size is more than 2GB, the return value overflows.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>num = curia.bnum()</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: Get the total number of the elements of each bucket array.
+The return value is the total number of the elements of each bucket array
+An exception of `Curia::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs.
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><kbd>num = curia.rnum()</kbd></dt>
+<dd>
+Method: Get the number of the records stored in the database.
+The return value is the number of the records stored in the database.
