Content-addressable stores are store where it is possible to read and add new values. Keys are derived from the values raw contents and hence are deterministic.
The type for content-addressable backend stores. The 'a phantom type carries information about the store mutability.
type key = Hash.tThe type for keys.
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 to specify the key directly. The backend might choose to discared that key and/or can be corrupt if the key scheme is not consistent.
val clear : 'a t -> unit Lwt.tClear the store. This operation is expected to be slow.
val merge :
[ `Read | `Write ] t ->
info:Irmin.Info.f ->
key option Irmin.Merge.tmerge is the 3-way merge function for commit keys.
module Key : sig ... endKey provides base functions for commit keys.
module Val : sig ... endVal provides functions for commit values.
module Node : sig ... endNode is the underlying node store.
