Enlightenment Database Library
Edb is intended to provide a stable API and file format for archiving
configuration, theme, and other data available all the time for access at
random really fast. Edb can store any kind of data in key-value pair format.
Random access reading and writing is FAST as the core of Edb uses a berkley.
Edb provides a convenience API designed to make access fast AND improve access
speed by caching open db's until a flush and providing conveience macros too.
It also will be used to store image data and geometry data for theme files so
the information can be accessed without needing to unarchive files and can be
edited without having to unarchive and re-archive, and still be accesses at
random really quickly. Documentation is provided as comments in the Edb.h
header file.
Edb will be used for all config theme and meta data stroage for E17/EFM
etc. sine it provides FAST random-access read/write of any data wanted
(binary, string, integert, floating point) withotu the need to
unpack/repack files - data can be etxracted and put back at whim with a
simple API from which simple or complex tools can be built.
