Database management systems use special techniques to find records of data very quickly.
One of those techniques is to make each record of data in table have a fixed length, even when some record fields have a variable length.
This way, to read or write specific records in a table, it is just a matter of knowing the record position and multiplying by the length of each record.
This class takes advantage of this technique to efficiently perform several types of operations to manipulate records of data in table files.
Those operations include not only reading and writing records, but also moving records to different positions or even truncate the table files to make them smaller.

Cooperative multitasking is a way to execute multiple tasks concurrently.
Only one task runs at each moment but it gives the turn to the next task in the list of concurrent tasks, for instance when it needs to wait for some I/O operation to complete, like accesses to files, databases, or network connections.
This class implements a manager for cooperative multitasking in pure PHP.
It takes advantage of generators introduced in PHP 5.5 to let one task decide when it can give the control to the next task.
