# gizfs

Storage: buckets and objects, embedded in a program or on a range of machines. Import a module by name, for example `import * as Store from "gizdb:store";`. Each page lists the module's public declarations exactly as an installed toolchain provides them.

| Module | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| [gizfs:cli](/docs/reference/gizfs/cli) | The storage command group, `giz storage OPERATION ...`: one table of storage operations over the typed Client of volume.giz. |
| [gizfs:codec](/docs/reference/gizfs/codec) | The one binary encoding every stored byte of GizDB goes through: the log, segment files, the manifest and key-value snapshots. |
| [gizfs:disk](/docs/reference/gizfs/disk) | What the engine needs of a directory and its files. |
| [gizfs:node](/docs/reference/gizfs/node) | A storage node: one process owns one locked durable range. |
| [gizfs:object](/docs/reference/gizfs/object) | Object names are semantic catalog entries over the same immutable Store as files. |
| [gizfs:ordered](/docs/reference/gizfs/ordered) | An ordered map from byte strings to integers: a B+tree whose inner nodes keep each child's largest key and entry count, so seek, insert and delete cost O(log n) and rank queries too. |
| [gizfs:raft](/docs/reference/gizfs/raft) | A bounded durable Raft range. |
| [gizfs:s3](/docs/reference/gizfs/s3) | Bounded S3 profile. |
| [gizfs:volume](/docs/reference/gizfs/volume) | Files and objects are deterministic clients of the same committed range. |
