Terminology

Terms defined in the LCS v0.21 specification (LCS, RSI, hive, source, key, value, layer, SD, AccessCheck, token, SID, GUID, watch, TCB) are used here with the same meaning and are not redefined.

Additional terms specific to loregd:

  • Hive database: A SQLite database file backing one hive. Each hive registered by loregd has its own database file. The file path is provided on the command line.

  • Volatile store: A SQLite in-memory database (:memory:) ATTACHed to a hive database connection. Volatile keys are stored here. The volatile store is lost when loregd exits.

  • Folded name: The Unicode Simple Case Folded form of a key name, value name, or child name. Stored alongside the canonical (case-preserving) name for case-insensitive lookups.

  • Read connection: A SQLite connection used for read-only operations. Multiple read connections may be open concurrently (WAL mode).

  • Write connection: A SQLite connection used for mutating operations. Only one write connection exists per hive database. All writes are serialised through this connection.
