- Fix for possible unset uid/gid in toproto
- Fix for default mtree style
- Update libelf
- Importing libexecinfo
- Resynchronize GCC, mpc, gmp, mpfr
- build.sh: Replace params with show-params.
This has been done as the make target has been renamed in the same
way, while a new target named params has been added. This new
target generates a file containing all the parameters, instead of
printing it on the console.
- Update test48 with new etc/services (Fix by Ben Gras <ben@minix3.org)
get getservbyport() out of the inner loop

|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm cdb
|
|
.Nd format of the constant database
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
database format provides a space-efficient (key,value) database.
|
|
The format doesn't allow updates in any convenient form.
|
|
The file overhead is around 5 bytes per key and 5 bytes per entry.
|
|
Keys are not stored and it is the responsibility of the caller
|
|
to validate matches.
|
|
The index structure is based on a minimal perfect hash table, so exactly
|
|
one entry has to be checked for a match.
|
|
.Ss General Format
|
|
The header record of a
|
|
.Nm
|
|
database consists of the following:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct header_cdb {
|
|
uint8_t magic[7];
|
|
uint8_t version;
|
|
uint8_t description[16];
|
|
uint32_t data_size;
|
|
uint32_t entries;
|
|
uint32_t entries_index;
|
|
uint32_t seed;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All fields are in Little Endian byte order.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This is followed by a description of the hash function of
|
|
.Va entries_index
|
|
records.
|
|
The size of each index entry is the logarithm of
|
|
.Va entries
|
|
to base 256, rounded up.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The index records are followed by the start offsets of the entries,
|
|
followed by
|
|
.Va data_size .
|
|
The offsets are relative to the end of the offset record table and are
|
|
monotically increasing.
|
|
The size of each offset record is the logarithm of
|
|
.Va data_size
|
|
to base 256, rounded up.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The offset table is followed by the entries in order.
|
|
No separation or padding is added.
|
|
.Ss Limitations
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file format is by design intended for a database that can be
|
|
mapped into memory.
|
|
The hard limit for the number of entries and keys is 3435973836.
|
|
The total size of all values must be smaller than 4GiB.
