Struct Region 

pub struct Region(/* private fields */);

Named region within a database providing isolated storage space.

Regions grow dynamically as data is written and can be moved within the database file to optimize space usage. Each region has a unique ID for lookup.

Implementations

impl Region

pub fn new( db: &Database, id: String, index: usize, start: usize, len: usize, reserved: usize, ) -> Self

pub fn from(db: &Database, index: usize, meta: RegionMetadata) -> Self

pub fn create_reader(&self) -> Reader

Creates a reader for zero-copy access to this region’s data.

The Reader holds read locks on both the memory map and region metadata, blocking writes until dropped. Drop the reader as soon as you’re done reading to avoid blocking other operations.

pub fn open_db_read_only_file(&self) -> Result<File>

pub fn write(&self, data: &[u8]) -> Result<()>

Appends data to the end of the region.

The region will automatically grow and relocate if needed. Data is written to the mmap but not durable until flush() is called.

pub fn write_at(&self, data: &[u8], at: usize) -> Result<()>

Writes data at a specific offset within the region.

The offset must be within the current region length. Data written past the current end will extend the length. Data is written to the mmap but not durable until flush() is called.

pub fn truncate(&self, from: usize) -> Result<()>

Truncates the region to the specified length.

This reduces the logical length but doesn’t modify existing data bytes. The truncated data becomes inaccessible even though the bytes remain in the mmap. Changes are not durable until flush() is called.

pub fn truncate_write(&self, at: usize, data: &[u8]) -> Result<()>

Truncates the region to a specific offset and writes data there.

This is an atomic truncate + write operation. The final length will be exactly at + data.len() regardless of the previous length. Changes are not durable until flush() is called.

pub fn rename(&self, new_id: &str) -> Result<()>

Renames the region to a new ID.

The new ID must not already be in use. Changes are not durable until flush() is called.

pub fn remove(self) -> Result<()>

Removes the region from the database.

The space is marked as a pending hole that will become reusable after the next flush(). This consumes the region to prevent use-after-free.

pub fn flush(&self) -> Result<bool>

Flushes this region’s dirty data and metadata to disk.

Only flushes the dirty range if any writes have been made since the last flush. Returns Ok(true) if data was flushed, Ok(false) if nothing was dirty.

pub fn arc(&self) -> &Arc<RegionInner>

pub fn index(&self) -> usize

pub fn meta(&self) -> RwLockReadGuard<'_, RegionMetadata>

pub fn db(&self) -> Database
