AVLtree is a small, malloc-based, in-memory index package generally
|
|
like B-trees and hash tables.
|
|
|
|
The interface resembles that of the BPLUS (B-tree) index package.
|
|
|
|
Index creation options are:
|
|
|
|
- fixed-length binary keys OR variable-length string keys
|
|
- unique OR duplicate keys
|
|
- with duplicate keys:
|
|
standard (void *) pointers for each key OR
|
|
instance-counting (saves time and memory)
|
|
|
|
Key insert/search time is O(log N). References:
