## Installation
In order to install mdb clone this repository then run:\
```sudo make install```
## Reference
There are four basic commands in mdb:
- exit: exits the program
- GET: gets a given key-value pair from a given object
- SET: sets a given key-value pair in a given object
- DEL: deletes a given key-value pair from a given object
### Syntax
The basic layout of a command looks like this:\
```cmd s/params/```
- `cmd` represents the command you're trying to execute
- `s` represents the selector.\
If `s` is a number, it will execute the command on that specific object.\
If `s` is an `*` it will execute the command on every object.
- `/params/` represents any parameters\
that the command may need to execute properly.\
All parameters are separated by a `/`.
Examples:
- `GET *` - gets every key-value pair from every object.
- `SET 0/name:John` - sets the key `name` to the value `John` in object 0.
- `DEL */name` - deletes every key `name` from every object.
### API Reference
There are six functions and two types in mdb.h
#### Types:
- tabidx_t: represents a single key-value pair in an object.
- tablist_t: represents a single object.
#### Functions:
- readdb: takes a filename and returns a tablist array\
if the file doesn't exist it will return an empty tablist array\
if readdb fails in any other way it will return NULL.
- writedb: takes a filename and tablist array\
writedb writes the given tablist array to a file.
- getkeys: takes a tablist array and index\
getkeys finds every single key-value pair in a given tablist\
and returns an integer array with the indexes of each key-value pair.
- getkey: takes a tablist array, index, and key\
getkey finds a key-value pair from a given tablist\
if it can't find the key-value pair it will return an empty
tabidx.
- setkey: takes a pointer to a tablist array, an index, and a key-value pair\
setkey sets a given key-value pair in a given object, if a given key already exists\
it will overwrite the value set in that key.\
If setkey is successful it will return 0.
- delkey: takes a tablist array, an index, and a key\
delkey deletes the given key-value pair from the given object\
if successful it will return 0.
