1. create a directory and link it as a database.
```lua
coldbase = colddb.get_db("mydb")
coldbase = colddb.Colddb("mydb")
```
2. add an extra folder to the directory. every new file will be added to the global tag(folder).
```lua
colddb.add_global_tag(coldbase,"ips")
coldbase.add_global_tag("ips")
```
3. store key item(this key has no value)
```lua
colddb.set_key(coldbase,"MyKey")
coldbase.set_key("MyKey")
```
4. store key-value item
```lua
colddb.set(coldbase,"MyKeyAndValue","Hello world")
coldbase.set("MyKeyAndValue", "Hello world")
```
5. retrieve items (get_key's callback(arg) will return true, false, or nil)
```lua
colddb.get(coldbase,"MyKeyAndValue",nil,function(arg)
coldbase.get("MyKeyAndValue", nil, function(arg)

7. if add_to_mem_pool is true(true by default). keys are stored in a weak lua table(memory) it will be removed by the gc if its not in-use. Storing data in memory is to prevent the database from constantly loading up data from files.

9. only if coldbase.indexes is true. returns the amount of keys that are in the indexing file.
```lua

10. only if coldbase.indexes is true. iterates through the indexing file(breaks and ends if it reaches the end of the file).
```lua
colddb.iterate_index_table(coldbase,nil,func_list_keys,nil)
coldbase.iterate_index_table(nil, func_list_keys, nil)

11. adds a folder which can be used in other functions that have tag_name arg.
```lua
colddb.add_tag(coldbase,"Extra_Folder",{"Extra","Folder"})
coldbase.add_tag("Extra_Folder", {"Extra", "Folder"})
```
12. returns the tag name if the tag does not exists it creates one.
```lua
colddb.get_or_add_tag(coldbase,"Extra_Folder",{"Extra","Folder"})
coldbase.get_or_add_tag("Extra_Folder", {"Extra", "Folder"})
```
13. remove tag by name.
```lua
colddb.remove_tag(coldbase,"Extra_Folder")
coldbase.remove_tag("Extra_Folder")

Quick Look Notes

In the example above we could also create a more complex ip database using tags. Creating tags named after the player then assigning the ip files to them.<br>
This way we could store many ips associated with the player instead of just one ip.
API
===========
- **Functions**
- **colddb.get_db(directory) --> db**
Creates an directory and links it as a database. Returns a 'db' obeject.
- **colddb.add_global_tag(db,tag)**
Adds an extra folder to the directory and advance the database to the added folder.
- **colddb.add_tag(db,name,tag)**
- Creates a folder from the given table in tag.
- **colddb.get_or_add_tag(db,name,tag) --> tag_name**
Returns a tag or creates a new one if does not exist.
- **colddb.remove_tag(db,name)**
Removes a tag.
- **colddb.get_count(db,tag_name) --> count**
Returns the count from the index table file.
- **colddb.iterate_index_table(db,begin_func,func_on_iterate,end_func,args,tag_name)**
- function iterates through the index table file.
- **begin_func(args) --> args**
- function that is ran before the loop begins.
- **func_on_iterate(key,index,args)**
- function that is ran in the for loop.
- **end_func(args)**
- end function that is ran after the for loop ends.
- **colddb.set(db,name,_table,tag_name)**
- Writes data to the database. Key-Value.
- **colddb.set_key(db,name,tag_name)**
- Writes data to the database. Key-nil.
- **colddb.get(db,name,tag_name,callback(arg))**
- Returns specified data from the database in a callback function.
- **colddb.get_key(db,name,tag_name,callback(arg))**
- Returns if the key exist in the database.
- **colddb.remove(db,name,tag_name)**
- Deletes the specified data from the database.
- **Database object fields**
- **indexes**
- If truth the database makes a indexing file for keys.
- **add_to_mem_pool**
- If truth when you get keys or values it gets cached in the memory for faster access next time.
