+Esqlite
+=====
+
+An Erlang nif library for sqlite3.
+
+Introduction
+-----------------
+
+This library allows you to use the accelent sqlite engine from
+erlang. The library is implemented as a nif library, which allows for
+the fastest access to a sqlite database. This can be risky, as a bug
+in the nif library or the sqlite database can crash the entire Erlang
+VM. If you do not want to take this risk, it is always possible to
+access the sqlite nif from a separate erlang node.
+
+Special care has been taken not to block the scheduler of the calling
+process. This is done by handling all commands from erlang within a
+lightweight thread. The erlang scheduler will get control back when
+the command has been added to the command-queue of the thread.
