33
+ The library `villa' should be included in application codes.
34
+ An instance of the class `Villa' is used as a database handle.
35
+ `Villa' performs Mix-in of `Enumerable'.
36
+ Each method of `Villa' throws an exception of `Villa::EANY' or its sub classes when an error
37
+ occurs: `Villa::ENOERR', `Villa::EFATAL', `Villa::EMODE', `Villa::EBROKEN', `Villa::EKEEP',
38
+ `Villa::ENOITEM', `Villa::EALLOC', `Villa::EMAP', `Villa::EOPEN', `Villa::ECLOSE',
39
+ `Villa::ETRUNC', `Villa::ESYNC', `Villa::ESTAT', `Villa::ESEEK', `Villa::EREAD',
40
+ `Villa::EWRITE', `Villa::ELOCK', `Villa::EUNLINK', `Villa::EMKDIR', `Villa::ERMDIR' and
41
+ `Villa::EMISC'.
42
+ </dd>
43
+ </dl>
44
+ <dl>
45
+ <dt><kbd>villa = Villa::new(name, omode, cmode)</kbd></dt>
46
+ <dd>
47
+ Constructor: Get a database handle.
48
+ `name' specifies the name of a database file.
49
+ `omode' specifies the connection mode: `Villa::OWRITER' as a writer, `Villa::OREADER' as a
50
+ reader. If the mode is `Villa::OWRITER', the following may be added by bitwise or:
51
+ `Villa::OCREAT', which means it creates a new database if not exist, `Villa::OTRUNC', which
52
+ means it creates a new database regardless if one exists, `Villa::OZCOMP', which means
53
+ leaves in the database are compressed with ZLIB, `Villa::OYCOMP', which means leaves in the
54
+ database are compressed with LZO, `Villa::OXCOMP', which means leaves in the database are
55
+ compressed with BZIP2. Both of `Villa::OREADER' and `Villa::OWRITER' can be added to by
56
+ bitwise or: `Villa::ONOLCK', which means it opens a database file without file locking, or
57
+ `Villa::OLCKNB', which means locking is performed without blocking. If it is omitted,
58
+ `Villa::OREADER' is specified.
59
+ `cmode' specifies the comparing function: `Villa::CMPLEX' comparing keys in lexical order,
60
+ `Villa::CMPDEC' comparing keys as decimal strings, `Villa::CMPOBJ' comparing keys as
61
+ serialized objects implementing the method `&lt;=&gt;'. The comparing function should be kept
62
+ same in the life of a database. If `Villa::CMPOBJ' is used, such methods as `put', `out',
63
+ `get' and so on can treat not only instances of `String' but also any serializable and
64
+ comparable object.
65
+ If so, objects being stored are serialized and objects being retrieved are deserialized.
66
+ The return value is the database handle.
67
+ An exception of `Villa::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs.
68
+ If a block parameter is given, this method works as an iterator. A database handle is
69
+ opened and passed via the first argument of the block. The database handle is surely
70
+ closed when the block is over.
71
+ While connecting as a writer, an exclusive lock is invoked to the database file.
72
+ While connecting as a reader, a shared lock is invoked to the database file. The thread
73
+ blocks until the lock is achieved. `Villa::OZCOMP', `Villa::OYCOMP', and `Villa::OXCOMP'
74
+ are available only if QDBM was built each with ZLIB, LZO, and BZIP2 enabled. If
75
+ `Villa::ONOLCK' is used, the application is responsible for exclusion control.

84
+ <dl>
85
+ <dt><kbd>bool = villa.close()</kbd></dt>
86
+ <dd>
87
+ Method: Close the database handle.
88
+ The return value is always true.
89
+ An exception of `Villa::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs.
90
+ Because the region of a closed handle is released, it becomes impossible to use the handle.
91
+ Updating a database is assured to be written when the handle is closed. If a writer opens
92
+ a database but does not close it appropriately, the database will be broken. If the
93
+ transaction is activated and not committed, it is aborted.

+ <dl>
104
+ <dt><kbd>bool = villa.put(key, val, dmode)</kbd></dt>
105
+ <dd>
106
+ Method: Store a record.
107
+ `key' specifies a key. Although it must be an instance of String, binary data is okey.
108
+ `val' specifies a value. Although it must be an instance of String, binary data is okey.
109
+ `dmode' specifies behavior when the key overlaps, by the following values: `Villa::DOVER',
110
+ which means the specified value overwrites the existing one, `Villa::DKEEP', which means the
111
+ existing value is kept, `Villa::DCAT', which means the specified value is concatenated at the
112
+ end of the existing value, `Villa::DDUP', which means duplication of keys is allowed and the
113
+ specified value is added as the last one, `Villa::DDUPR', which means duplication of keys is
114
+ allowed and the specified value is added as the first one. If it is omitted, `Villa::DOVER'
115
+ is specified.
116
+ The return value is always true. However, if the silent flag is true and replace is
117
+ cancelled, false is returned instead of exception.
118
+ An exception of `Villa::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs or replace
119
+ is cancelled.
120
+ The cursor becomes unavailable due to updating database.

140
+ The return value is always true. However, if the silent flag is true and no record
141
+ corresponds, false is returned instead of exception.
142
+ An exception of `Villa::EANY' or its sub classes is thrown if an error occurs or no record
143
+ corresponds.
144

178

179

180
+ `defval' specifies the default value used when no record corresponds. If it is omitted, nil
181
+ is specified.
182

321

322
+ `lrecmax' specifies the max number of records in a leaf node of B+ tree. If it is not more
323

324
+ `nidxmax' specifies the max number of indexes in a non-leaf node of B+ tree. If it is not
325

326

327

332
