# = PStore -- Transactional File Storage for Ruby Objects
#
# pstore.rb -
# originally by matz
# documentation by Kev Jackson and James Edward Gray II
# improved by Hongli Lai
#
# See PStore for documentation.
require "fileutils"
require "digest/md5"
require "thread"
#
# PStore implements a file based persistence mechanism based on a Hash. User
# code can store hierarchies of Ruby objects (values) into the data store file
# by name (keys). An object hierarchy may be just a single object. User code
# may later read values back from the data store or even update data, as needed.
#
# The transactional behavior ensures that any changes succeed or fail together.
# This can be used to ensure that the data store is not left in a transitory
# state, where some values were updated but others were not.
#
# Behind the scenes, Ruby objects are stored to the data store file with
# Marshal. That carries the usual limitations. Proc objects cannot be
# marshalled, for example.
#
# == Usage example:
#
# require "pstore"
#
# # a mock wiki object...
# class WikiPage
# def initialize( page_name, author, contents )
# @page_name = page_name
# @revisions = Array.new
#
# add_revision(author, contents)
# end
#
# attr_reader :page_name
#
# def add_revision( author, contents )
# @revisions << { :created => Time.now,
# :author => author,
# :contents => contents }
# end
#
# def wiki_page_references
# [@page_name] + @revisions.last[:contents].scan(/\b(?:[A-Z]+[a-z]+){2,}/)
# end
#
# # ...
# end
#
# # create a new page...
# home_page = WikiPage.new( "HomePage", "James Edward Gray II",
# "A page about the JoysOfDocumentation..." )
#
# # then we want to update page data and the index together, or not at all...
# wiki = PStore.new("wiki_pages.pstore")
# wiki.transaction do # begin transaction; do all of this or none of it
# # store page...
# wiki[home_page.page_name] = home_page
# # ensure that an index has been created...
# wiki[:wiki_index] ||= Array.new
# # update wiki index...
# wiki[:wiki_index].push(*home_page.wiki_page_references)
# end # commit changes to wiki data store file
#
# ### Some time later... ###
#
# # read wiki data...
# wiki.transaction(true) do # begin read-only transaction, no changes allowed
# wiki.roots.each do |data_root_name|
# p data_root_name
# p wiki[data_root_name]
# end
# end
#
# == Transaction modes
#
# By default, file integrity is only ensured as long as the operating system
# (and the underlying hardware) doesn't raise any unexpected I/O errors. If an
# I/O error occurs while PStore is writing to its file, then the file will
# become corrupted.
#
# You can prevent this by setting <em>pstore.ultra_safe = true</em>.
# However, this results in a minor performance loss, and only works on platforms
# that support atomic file renames. Please consult the documentation for
# +ultra_safe+ for details.
#
# Needless to say, if you're storing valuable data with PStore, then you should
# backup the PStore files from time to time.
class PStore
binmode = defined?(File::BINARY) ? File::BINARY : 0
RDWR_ACCESS = File::RDWR | File::CREAT | binmode
RD_ACCESS = File::RDONLY | binmode
WR_ACCESS = File::WRONLY | File::CREAT | File::TRUNC | binmode
# The error type thrown by all PStore methods.
class Error < StandardError
end
# Whether PStore should do its best to prevent file corruptions, even when under
# unlikely-to-occur error conditions such as out-of-space conditions and other
# unusual OS filesystem errors. Setting this flag comes at the price in the form
# of a performance loss.
#
# This flag only has effect on platforms on which file renames are atomic (e.g.
# all POSIX platforms: Linux, MacOS X, FreeBSD, etc). The default value is false.

# To construct a PStore object, pass in the _file_ path where you would like
# the data to be stored.
