Code

# Organization

The code is organized into the following directories:

• core
  The files for the core TileDB storage manager.
• examples
  The tutorial examples from the TileDB website
• test
  Google tests for TileDB
• doxygen
  Contains the code documentation for the TileDB core header files.

If you wish to dive into the implementation details of TileDB, we recommend the following steps:

• Step 1 - Learn the TileDB internal mechanics
  Visit the TileDB tutorials and read the TileDB Mechanics 101 tutorial.
• Step 2 - Run all the TileDB examples
  Visit the TileDB tutorials, read the TileDB C API tutorial, and run all the examples locally. Also try to study the code of the examples.
• Step 3 - Learn the C API code
  Read through files core/include/c_api/constants.h, core/include/c_api/c_api.h and core/src/c_api/c_api.cc
• Step 4 - Dive deeper into the rest of the classes
  For each C API function, follow the code and read through the rest of the files in core/include and core/src

# Documentation

All the header files in core/include are fairly documented with Doxygen. Simply run:

make doc

and open doxygen/html/index.html in your browser. You can navigate from there to all the TileDB header files.

# Testing

We have set up the Google Test infrastructure for code testing for TileDB. All the tests are in directory test. We will be constantly augmenting our tests in the future releases. To run the test, follow the instructions of the Building TileDB section.
