Detailed Description

Table of WiredTiger extension methods.

This structure is used to provide a set of WiredTiger methods to extension modules without needing to link the modules with the WiredTiger library.

The extension methods may be used both by modules that are linked with the WiredTiger library (for example, a data source configured using the WT_CONNECTION::add_data_source method), and by modules not linked with the WiredTiger library (for example, a compression module configured using the WT_CONNECTION::add_compressor method).

To use these functions:

#include <wiredtiger_ext.h>
static WT_EXTENSION_API *wt_api;
static void
my_data_source_init(WT_CONNECTION *connection)
{
wt_api = connection->get_extension_api(connection);
}

The following code is from the sample compression module, where compression extension functions are configured in the extension's entry point:

/* Local compressor structure. */
typedef struct {
WT_COMPRESSOR compressor; /* Must come first */
WT_EXTENSION_API *wt_api; /* Extension API */
unsigned long nop_calls; /* Count of calls */
} NOP_COMPRESSOR;
/*
* wiredtiger_extension_init --
* A simple shared library compression example.
*/
int
{
NOP_COMPRESSOR *nop_compressor;
(void)config; /* Unused parameters */
if ((nop_compressor = calloc(1, sizeof(NOP_COMPRESSOR))) == NULL)
return (errno);
/*
* Allocate a local compressor structure, with a WT_COMPRESSOR structure
* as the first field, allowing us to treat references to either type of
* structure as a reference to the other type.
*
* Heap memory (not static), because it can support multiple databases.
*/
nop_compressor->compressor.compress = nop_compress;
nop_compressor->compressor.compress_raw = NULL;
nop_compressor->compressor.decompress = nop_decompress;
nop_compressor->compressor.pre_size = nop_pre_size;
nop_compressor->compressor.terminate = nop_terminate;
nop_compressor->wt_api = connection->get_extension_api(connection);
/* Load the compressor */
return (connection->add_compressor(
connection, "nop", (WT_COMPRESSOR *)nop_compressor, NULL));
}
Examples:
ex_encrypt.c, ex_file_system.c, nop_encrypt.c, and rotn_encrypt.c.
