/**
 * The micro data base UDB.
 *
 * File data.udb is mmapped and used to lookup and edit.
 * it contains a header with space-allocation-info, and a reference to the
 * base information, an object that is the entry point for the file.
 * Then it contains a lot of data and index objects.
 *
 * The space allocator is 'buddy system', 1megareas, larger get own area.
 * So worst case is 2xdata filesize (+header).  Growth semi-linear.
 * Chunks have size and type (for recovery).  Call to reserve space.
 * Call to 'realloc-in-place', if space permits.
 *
 * Usually you want a record-type and its indexes (sorted) to be stored in
 * the file.  This is a table (named by string).  The record is opaque
 * data.
 *
 * To be able to use pointers in the mmapped file, there is conversion of
 * relative-pointers(to file base) to system-pointers.
 *
 * If an item is moved its internal pointers need to be recalculated.
 * Thus a recordtype (that has internal pointers) must provide a routine.
 * Structures that are 'on-disk', are denoted with _d. Except rel_ptr which
 * is also on-disk.
 *
 * About 64-bit trouble.  The pointer-size which which the application is
 * compiled determines the file layout, because this makes it perform well
 * in a mmap.  It could in theory be converted if you really wanted to.
 * Nonpointer data is best stored as a fixed bitsize (uint8, 16, 32, 64).
