mtbl Rust Bindings

This library provides Rust FFI interface to the mtbl C library for dealing with SSTables (write-once sorted map files).

SSTables are basically constant on-disk maps, like those used by CDB (which also has Rust bindings, except using sorted maps instead of hashmaps. For more information, see the mtbl README.

Version 0.2.X of mtbl-sys covers the 0.8 version of the MTBL C library.

Dependencies

In order to use the mtbl-sys crate, you must have a Unix system with the libmtbl library installed where it can be found by pkg-config.

On Debian-based Linux distributions, install the libmtbl-dev package:

sudo apt-get install libmtbl-dev

Usage

Add mtbl-sys as a dependency in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
mtbl-sys = "0.1.0"
