# Documentation
In general, documentation for `database/` is split into 3:
| Documentation location | Purpose |
|---------------------------|---------|
| `database/README.md` | High level design of `cuprate-database`
| `cuprate-database` | Practical usage documentation/warnings/notes/etc
| Source file `// comments` | Implementation-specific details (e.g, how many reader threads to spawn?)
This README serves as the overview/design document.
For actual practical usage, `cuprate-database`'s types and general usage are documented via standard Rust tooling.
Run:
```bash
cargo doc --package cuprate-database --open
```
at the root of the repo to open/read the documentation.
If this documentation is too abstract, refer to any of the source files, they are heavily commented. There are many `// Regular comments` that explain more implementation specific details that aren't present here or in the docs. Use the file reference below to find what you're looking for.
The code within `src/` is also littered with some `grep`-able comments containing some keywords:
| Word | Meaning |
|-------------|---------|
| `INVARIANT` | This code makes an _assumption_ that must be upheld for correctness
| `SAFETY` | This `unsafe` code is okay, for `x,y,z` reasons
| `FIXME` | This code works but isn't ideal
| `HACK` | This code is a brittle workaround
| `PERF` | This code is weird for performance reasons
| `TODO` | This must be implemented; There should be 0 of these in production code
| `SOMEDAY` | This should be implemented... someday
# File Structure
A quick reference of the structure of the folders & files in `cuprate-database`.
Note that `lib.rs/mod.rs` files are purely for re-exporting/visibility/lints, and contain no code. Each sub-directory has a corresponding `mod.rs`.
## `src/`
The top-level `src/` files.
