The memory-pager package is a utility for managing and abstracting over pages of memory, allowing for efficient memory allocation and manipulation in a paged manner. It is particularly useful in scenarios where managing large datasets or buffers in a memory-efficient way is crucial, such as in databases or file systems.

What are memory-pager's main functionalities?

Page allocation and retrieval

This feature allows for the allocation and retrieval of memory pages. The code sample demonstrates how to allocate a new page (or retrieve it if it already exists) and then fill it with zeros.

const pager = require('memory-pager')();
let page = pager.get(0, true);
page.fill(0); // Allocate and fill the first page with zeros

Page updates and access

This feature enables updating and accessing data within a page. The code sample shows how to write data to a page and then read it back.

const data = Buffer.from('hello world');
page.set(data, 0); // Write data to the beginning of the page
const readData = page.get(0, data.length); // Read data from the page

Readme

Source

Access memory using small fixed sized buffers instead of allocating a huge buffer. Useful if you are implementing sparse data structures (such as large bitfield).

travis

npm install memory-pager

Usage

var pager = require('paged-memory')

var pages = pager(1024) // use 1kb per page

var page = pages.get(10) // get page #10

console.log(page.offset) // 10240
console.log(page.buffer) // a blank 1kb buffer

API

`var pages = pager(pageSize)`

Create a new pager. pageSize defaults to 1024.

`var page = pages.get(pageNumber, [noAllocate])`

Get a page. The page will be allocated at first access.

Optionally you can set the noAllocate flag which will make the method return undefined if no page has been allocated already

A page looks like this

{
  offset: byteOffset,
  buffer: bufferWithPageSize
}

`pages.set(pageNumber, buffer)`

Explicitly set the buffer for a page.

`pages.updated(page)`

Mark a page as updated.

`pages.lastUpdate()`

Get the last page that was updated.

`var buf = pages.toBuffer()`

Concat all pages allocated pages into a single buffer
