Libjio is a user-space C library to do journaled, transaction-oriented I/O. It provides a very simple API to commit and rollback transactions, and on top of that a UNIX-alike set of functions to perform most regular operations (i.e. open(), read(), write()) in a non-intrusive threadsafe and atomic way, with safe and fast crash recovery. This allows the library to guarantee file integrity even after unexpected crashes, never leaving your files in an inconsistent state. On the disk, the file you work on is exactly like a regular one, but a special directory is created to store in-flight transactions.
