File-system based cache for Matlab values. It implements a key-value persistent
storage using Matlab's built-in load and save functions. It does not offer
the best performance compared to a key-value database system, but works in any
platform supported by Matlab.
Some API depends on Java functionality.
clear - Clear a collection.
delete - Delete a value.
exist - Check if a key exists.
export - Export key-value pairs.
get - Get a value.
getFilePath - Compute a file path for the given name and key.
hash - Set/get a hash function.
import - Import key-value pairs.
keys - Get a list of keys in the cache.
put - Put a value.
root - Set/get a root directory for fscache.
Here is a quick usage example.
fscache.put('my_pets', 'bow', struct('type', 'dog', 'age', 2));
if ~fscache.exist('my_pets', 'chi')
fscache.put('my_pets', 'chi', struct('type', 'cat', 'age', 1));
end
bow = fscache.get('my_pets', 'bow');
fscache.delete('my_pets', 'chi');
The fscache.root function allows you to change the storage location, which by
default is set at tmp in the current directory.
fscache.root('/path/to/cache');
current_root = fscache.root;
The fscache.hash function controls how to generate a storage path. By
default, fscache generates a storage path with at most 256 hash entries in
each collection. When the number of cache entries are smaller than ~1000,
it is probably better to turn off the hash function.
fscache.hash(false);
