package lmdb

A transaction handle. A transaction may be read-only or read-write.

go perm env f runs a transaction with perm read/write permissions in env.

The function f txn will receive the transaction handle. All changes to the environment env done using the transaction handle will be persisted to the environment only when f returns. After f returned, the transaction handle is invalid and should therefore not be leaked outside f.

• returns

  None if the transaction was aborted with abort, and Some _ otherwise.

• parameter txn

  Create a child transaction to txn. This is not supported on an env with Env.Flags.write_map.

  Here is an example incrementing a value atomically:

  go rw env begin fun txn ->
    let v = Map.get ~txn k in
    Map.add ~txn k (v+1) ;
    v
  end

abort txn aborts transaction txn and the current go function, which will return None.

env txn returns the environment of txn
