mmtkvdb

mmtkvdb is a crate for Rust which provides a memory-mapped key-value database. It uses LMDB and links with an existing liblmdb on the system.

Safety

Because of how memory-mapped I/O is being used and also because of certain assumptions of the underlying LMDB API, opening environments and databases requires unsafe Rust (i.e. the programmer must ensure that certain preconditions are met that cannot be enforced by the compiler to avoid undefined behavior). If you aim to program in safe Rust only, this Rust library is not suitable for you.
