db.append(new Buffer('world'), function () {
  db.get(0, console.log) // prints hello
  db.get(1, console.log) // prints world
})

API

db = fixeddb(filename, entrySize)

Instantiate a new database. All entries stored must be entrySize large.

db.append(buf, [cb])

Append a new entry.

db.get(index, cb)

Get a entry at a specific index.

db.put(index, buf, [cb])

Override an old entry.

stream = db.createWriteStream()

Create a write stream that appends all entries written to the stream to the database.

stream = db.createReadStream([opts])

Create a read stream of all entries in the database. Optionally you can pass gt: index or gte: index to the options map to only read entries after a specific index.

db.close([cb])

Close the database.

db.flush([cb])

Flush the database. Performs a fsync on the file to make sure all changes are flushed to disk.

db.open([cb])

Force open the database. The database is opened lazily when you perform an operation. After the database has been opened db.entries should be set to the number of entries in the database and db.size should be set to the total ondisk size of the database
