Previously, all of the README files have been renamed to README.md and now, the contents of these files were changed to use Markdown format. Other than format inconsistency, some README.md files lacked information about modules, or were out of date. By using LibreOffice / OpenOffice wiki and other documentation websites, these files were updated. Now every README.md file has a title, and some description. The top-level README.md file is changed to add links to the modules. The result of processing the Markdown format README.md files can be seen at: https://docs.libreoffice.org/ Change-Id: Ic3b0c3c064a2498d6a435253b041df010cd7797a Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/113424 Tested-by: Jenkins Reviewed-by: Michael Stahl <michael.stahl@allotropia.de> Reviewed-by: Adolfo Jayme Barrientos <fitojb@ubuntu.com>

# Registry Reading, etc
|
|
|
|
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.
