/*!
 * Read access to BSD 4.4 `dbopen(3)` btree (db 1.85) files.
 *
 * This crate implements the on-disk btree format used by the historical
 * 4.4BSD `dbopen(3)` interface, as preserved in NetBSD `libc` and in the
 * pkgsrc `libnbcompat` sources.  It targets the subset required by
 * `pkg_install`'s `pkgdb.byfile.db`: btree only, no duplicates, default
 * `memcmp` ordering, no user comparison or prefix callbacks.  Hash and
 * recno access methods are not supported.
 *
 * Only read operations are implemented in this revision: opening an
 * existing database, retrieving a value by key, and iterating all
 * key/value pairs in sorted order.  Write support will follow.
 *
 * # Errors
 *
 * Fallible operations return [`Result<T>`], aliased to
 * [`std::result::Result`] over [`Error`].  [`Error`] distinguishes
 * underlying I/O failures from on-disk format problems (bad magic,
 * unsupported version, corrupt pages or overflow chains).
 *
 * # Example
 *
 * ```no_run
 * use db185::Db;
 *
 * # fn run() -> db185::Result<()> {
 * let db = Db::open("/var/db/pkg/pkgdb.byfile.db")?;
 * if let Some(value) = db.get(b"/opt/pkg/bin/foo\0")? {
 *     println!("{}", String::from_utf8_lossy(value.as_ref()));
 * }
 * for entry in &db {
 *     let entry = entry?;
 *     println!(
 *         "{} -> {}",
 *         String::from_utf8_lossy(entry.key()),
 *         String::from_utf8_lossy(entry.value()),
 *     );
 * }
 * # Ok(())
 * # }
 * ```

#![warn(clippy::pedantic, clippy::nursery, missing_docs, unreachable_pub)]
// `unreachable_pub` wants `pub(crate)` on items inside private modules
// whose visibility is only used within the crate.  That conflicts with
// `clippy::redundant_pub_crate` (nursery), which considers the same
// `pub(crate)` redundant since the module is already private.  Rustc's
// view is the more informative one, so suppress the clippy lint.
