%%
%% This module administers three kinds of log files:
%%
%% 1 The transaction log
%%   mnesia_tm appends to the log (via mnesia_log) at the
%%   end of each transaction (or dirty write) and
%%   mnesia_dumper reads the log and performs the ops in
%%   the dat files. The dump_log is done  at startup and
%%   at intervals controlled by the user.
%%
%% 2 The mnesia_down log
%%   mnesia_tm appends to the log (via mnesia_log) when it
%%   realizes that mnesia goes up or down on another node.
%%   mnesia_init reads the log (via mnesia_log) at startup.
%%
%% 3 The backup log
%%   mnesia_schema produces one tiny log when the schema is
%%   initially created. mnesia_schema also reads the log
%%   when the user wants tables (possibly incl the schema)
%%   to be restored. mnesia_log appends to the log when the
%%   user wants to produce a real backup.
%%
%%   The actual access to the backup media is performed via the
%%   mnesia_backup module for both read and write. mnesia_backup
%%   uses the disk_log (*), BUT the user may write an own module
%%   with the same interface as mnesia_backup and configure
%%   Mnesia so the alternate module performs the actual accesses
%%   to the backup media. This means that the user may put the
%%   backup on medias that Mnesia does not know about possibly on
%%   hosts where Erlang is not running.
%%
%% All these logs have to some extent a common structure.
%% They are all using the disk_log module (*) for the basic
%% file structure. The disk_log has a repair feature that
%% can be used to skip erroneous log records if one comes to
%% the conclusion that it is more important to reuse some
%% of the log records than the risque of obtaining inconsistent
%% data. If the data becomes inconsistent it is solely up to the
%% application to make it consistent again. The automatic
%% reparation of the disk_log is very powerful, but use it
%% with extreme care.
%%
%% First in all Mnesia's log file is a mnesia log header.
%% It contains a list with a log_header record as single
%% element. The structure of the log_header may never be
%% changed since it may be written to very old backup files.
%% By holding this record definition stable we can be
%% able to comprahend backups from timepoint 0. It also
%% allows us to use the backup format as an interchange
%% format between Mnesia releases.
%%
%% An op-list is a list of tuples with arity 3. Each tuple
%% has this structure: {Oid, Recs, Op} where Oid is the tuple
%% {Tab, Key}, Recs is a (possibly empty) list of records and
%% Op is an atom.
%%
%% The log file structure for the transaction log is as follows.
%%
%%    After the mnesia log section follows an extended record section
%%    containing op-lists. There are several values that Op may
%%    have, such as write, delete, update_counter, delete_object,
%%    and replace. There is no special end of section marker.
%%

%%    | mnesia log head |
%%    +-----------------+
%%    | extended record |
%%    | section         |
%%    +-----------------+
%%
%% The log file structure for the mnesia_down log is as follows.
%%
%%    After the mnesia log section follows a mnesia_down section
%%    containg lists with yoyo records as single element.
%%
%%    +-----------------+
%%    | mnesia log head |
%%    +-----------------+
%%    | mnesia_down     |
%%    | section         |
%%    +-----------------+
%%
%% The log file structure for the backup log is as follows.
%%
%%    After the mnesia log section follows a schema section
%%    containing record lists. A record list is a list of tuples
%%    where {schema, Tab} is interpreted as a delete_table(Tab) and
%%    {schema, Tab, CreateList} are interpreted as create_table.
%%
%%    The record section also contains record lists. In this section
%%    {Tab, Key} is interpreted as delete({Tab, Key}) and other tuples
%%    as write(Tuple). There is no special end of section marker.
