sqlite3vfs: Go sqlite3 VFS API

sqlite3vfs is a Cgo API that allows you to create custom sqlite Virtual File Systems (VFS) in Go. You can use this with the sqlite3 https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 SQL driver.

Basic usage

To use, simply implement the VFS and File interfaces. Then register your VFS with sqlite3vfs and include the vfs name when opening the database connection:

	// create your VFS
	vfs := newTempVFS()

	vfsName := "tmpfs"
	err := sqlite3vfs.RegisterVFS(vfsName, vfs)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	db, err := sql.Open("sqlite3", fmt.Sprintf("foo.db?vfs=%s", vfsName))
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

A full example can be found in sqlite3vfs_test.go.

Loadable SQLite3 module

sqlite3vfs can also be built as a SQLite3 loadable module. This allows you to load your vfs at runtime into applications that support SQLite3 modules, including the SQLite3 cli tool.

To build as a loadable module, set the -tags SQLITE3VFS_LOADABLE_EXT build tag. Both DonutDB and sqlite3vfshttp have working examples of building a SQLite3 loadable module.
