This provides tools for dealing with the legacy binary types database
|
|
|
|
|
format, still in use by extensions and the core code. While the actual
|
|
|
|
|
binary file format is implemented by the [[store]] code, the wrapper
|
|
|
|
|
that turns this into a type registry is implemented here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While this code is primarily used in only two modes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* linear write / concatenate
|
|
|
|
|
* random access read
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The API unfortunately exposes a random-access write approach, which -
|
|
|
|
|
while ~unused needs before we can re-write this away from the store
|
|
|
|
|
backend.
