Check_closed.M
module Value : Type.S
Read-only stores are store where it is only possible to read existing values.
type value = Value.t
The type for raw values.
val mem : [> Perms.read ] t -> key -> bool Lwt.t
mem t k
is true iff k
is present in t
.
val find : [> Perms.read ] t -> key -> value option Lwt.t
find t k
is Some v
if k
is associated to v
in t
and None
is k
is not present in t
.
val close : 'a t -> unit Lwt.t
close t
frees up all the resources associated with t
. Any operations run on a closed handle will raise Closed
.
type hash = Hash.t
The type of hashes of value
.
val add : [> Perms.write ] t -> value -> key Lwt.t
Write the contents of a value to the store, and obtain its key.
val unsafe_add : [> Perms.write ] t -> hash -> value -> key Lwt.t
Same as add
but allows specifying the value's hash directly. The backend might choose to discard that hash and/or can be corrupt if the hash is not consistent.
val index : [> Perms.read ] t -> hash -> key option Lwt.t
Indexing maps the hash of a value to a corresponding key of that value in the store. For stores that are addressed by hashes directly, this is typically fun _t h -> Lwt.return (Key.of_hash h)
; for stores with more complex addressing schemes, index
may attempt a lookup operation in the store.
In general, indexing is best-effort and reveals no information about the membership of the value in the store. In particular:
index t hash = Some key
doesn't guarantee mem t key
: the value with hash hash
may still be absent from the store;index t hash = None
doesn't guarantee that there is no key
such that mem t key
and Key.to_hash key = hash
: the value may still be present in the store under a key that is not indexed.val batch :
Perms.read t ->
([ Perms.read | Perms.write ] t -> 'a Lwt.t) ->
'a Lwt.t
batch t f
applies the writes in f
in a separate batch. The exact guarantees depend on the implementation.
val v : Irmin__.Conf.t -> Perms.read t Lwt.t
v config
is a function returning fresh store handles, with the configuration config
, which is provided by the backend.
