Parameter Of_content_addressable.S

The type for stores. The 'a phantom type carries information about the store mutability.

The type for keys.

The type for raw values.

mem t k is true iff k is present in t.

find t k is Some v if k is associated to v in t and None is k is not present in t.

Write the contents of a value to the store. It's the responsibility of the content-addressable store to generate a consistent key.

Same as add but allows specifying the key directly. The backend might choose to discard that key and/or can be corrupt if the key scheme is not consistent.

close t frees up all the resources associated with t. Any operations run on a closed handle will raise Closed.

batch t f applies the writes in f in a separate batch. The exact guarantees depend on the implementation.
