This library provides Rust FFI interface to the mtbl C library for dealing with SSTables (write-once sorted map files).
SSTables are basically constant on-disk maps, like those used by CDB (which also has Rust bindings, except using sorted maps instead of hashmaps. For more information, see the mtbl README.
Version 0.2.X of mtbl-sys covers the 0.8 version of the MTBL C library.
In order to use the mtbl-sys crate, you must have a Unix system with the
libmtbl library installed where it can be found by pkg-config.
On Debian-based Linux distributions, install the libmtbl-dev package:
sudo apt-get install libmtbl-dev
Add mtbl-sys as a dependency in Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
mtbl-sys = "0.1.0"Import the mtbl_sys crate and use the functions as they're defined in the
native libmtbl library. See the libmtbl API documention man pages for
more usage information.
extern crate mtbl_sys as mtbl;For documentation about each function, see MTBL's extensive man pages, e.g.
man mtbl_reader.
