The only documentation is comments in the code. Note that the BTree-layer interface is not a published API. It is subject to change in very incompatible ways without notice. Such changes may be semantic only - meaning that after upgrading SQLite you find that your application compiles and links fine but generates subtle and difficult to trace errors. The BTree interface is also fragile and is not designed for external use. It lacks much of the parameter checking that normally occurs on library routines since the Btree interface is not intended for that use. You will find that generating segfaults and corrupting your database files will be quite easy if you call the BTree layer directly. For these reasons, calls directly into the BTree layer are strongly discouraged. -- D. Richard Hipp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
