Hah - that thing is a total mess & write-off; the format is very
wasteful, and I know of no docs - if there are they're obsolete since we
changed it.
The best thing to read is the code that reads/writes that which lives
in the:
store/source/
module in 'core'. The original idea of this was some transactional
in-file filing system that could store your E-mail (for the original
mail-app); it is horribly over-engineered and under-performant for what
we want - and we're dying for a replacement / re-write. The existing UNO
APIs provide a read/write capability that is un-necessary as well; it'd
be fine to create that just once at compile time and never touch it
again.
Of course; if you want to see what is in a .rdb file, just use
'regview' from the solver/*/*/bin on it to see it as text.
Thanks for digging into this !
ATB,
Michael
