+A reference description also follows below:
+
+.. function:: box.snapshot()
+
+ Take a snapshot of all data and store it in _`snap_dir`/<latest-lsn>.snap.
+ To take a snapshot, Tarantool first enters the delayed garbage collection
+ mode for all data. In this mode, tuples which were allocated before the
+ snapshot has started are not freed until the snapshot has finished. To
+ preserve consistency of the primary key, used to iterate over tuples, a
+ copy-on-write technique is employed. If the master process changes part
+ of a primary key, the corresponding process page is split, and the snapshot
+ process obtains an old copy of the page. Since a snapshot is written
+ sequentially, one can expect a very high write performance (averaging to
+ 80MB/second on modern disks), which means an average database instance gets
+ saved in a matter of minutes. Note, that as long as there are any changes to
+ the parent index memory through concurrent updates, there are going to be
+ page splits, and therefore one needs to have some extra free memory to run
+ this command. 10% of _`slab_alloc_arena` is, on average, sufficient. This
+ statement waits until a snapshot is taken and returns operation result.
+
+ .. code-block:: lua
+
+ tarantool> box.info.version

+ tarantool> box.snapshot()
+ ---
+ - ok
+ ...
+ tarantool> box.snapshot()
+ ---
+ error: can't save snapshot, errno 17 (File exists)
+ ...
+
+
+ Taking a snapshot does not cause the server to start a new write-ahead log.
+ Once a snapshot is taken, old WALs can be deleted as long as all replicas
+ are up to date. But the WAL which was current at the time **box.snapshot()**
+ started must be kept for recovery, since it still contains log records
+ written after the start of **box.snapshot()**.
+
+ An alternative way to save a snapshot is to send the server SIGUSR1 UNIX
+ signal. While this approach could be handy, it is not recommended for use
+ in automation: a signal provides no way to find out whether the snapshot
+ was taken successfully or not.
+
+.. function:: coredump()
+
+ Fork and dump a core. Since Tarantool stores all tuples in memory, it can
+ take some time. Mainly useful for debugging.
+
+.. function:: require('fiber').info()
+
+ Show all running fibers, with their stack. Mainly useful for debugging.

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Atomic execution
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+In several places it's been noted that Lua processes occur in fibers on a
+single thread. That is why there can be a guarantee of execution atomicity.
+That requires emphasis.
+
+===========================================================
+ Cooperative multitasking environment
+===========================================================
+
+Tarantool core is built around a cooperative multi-tasking paradigm: unless a
+running fiber deliberately yields control to some other fiber, it is not
+preempted. “Yield points†are built into all calls from Tarantool core to the
+operating system. Any system call which can block is performed in an
+asynchronous manner and the fiber waiting on the system call is preempted with
+a fiber ready to run. This model makes all programmatic locks unnecessary:
+cooperative multitasking ensures that there is no concurrency around a resource,
+no race conditions and no memory consistency issues.
+
+When requests are small, e.g. simple UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE, SELECT, fiber
+scheduling is fair: it takes only a little time to process the request, schedule
+a disk write, and yield to a fiber serving the next client.
+
+A function, however, can perform complex computations, or be written in such a
+way that control is not given away for a long time. This can lead to unfair
+scheduling, when a single client throttles the rest of the system, or to
+apparent stalls in request processing. Avoiding this situation is the
+responsibility of the function's author. Most of the box calls, such as
+``box.space...insert``, ``box.space...update``, ``box.space...delete`` are yield
+points; ``box.space...select``, however, is not.
+
+It should also be noted that, in the absence of transactions, any yield in a
+function is a potential change in the database state. Effectively, it's only
+possible to have CAS (compare-and-swap) -like atomic stored procedures: i.e.
+functions which select and then modify a record. Multiple data change requests
+always run through a built-in yield point.
+
+At this point an objection could arise: "It's good that a single data-change
+request will commit and yield, but surely there are times when multiple
+data-change requests must happen without yielding." The standard example is the
+money-transfer, where $1 is withdrawn from account #1 and deposited into
+account #2. If something interrupted after the withdrawal, then the institution
+would be out of balance. For such cases, the ``begin ... commit|rollback`` block
+was designed.
+
+.. function:: box.begin()
+
+ From this point, implicit yields are suspended. In effect the fiber which
+ executes ``box.begin()`` is starting an "active multi-request transaction",
+ blocking all other fibers until the transaction ends. All operations within
+ this transaction should use the same storage engine.
+
+.. function:: box.commit()
+
+ End the currently active transaction, and make all its data-change
+ operations permanent.
+
+.. function:: box.rollback()
+
+ End the currently active transaction, but cancel all its data-change
+ operations. An explicit call to functions outside ``box.space`` that always
+ yield, such as ``fiber.yield`` or ``fiber.sleep``, will have the same effect.
+
+The *requests in a transaction must be sent to the server as a single block*.
+It is not enough to enclose them between ``begin`` and ``commit`` or ``rollback``.
+To ensure they are sent as a single block: put them in a function, or put them all
+on one line, or use a delimiter so that multi-line requests are handled together.
+
+===========================================================
+ Example
+===========================================================
+
+Assuming that in tuple set 'tester' there are tuples in which the third
+field represents a positive dollar amount ... Start a transaction, withdraw from
+tuple#1, deposit in tuple#2, and end the transaction, making its effects permanent.
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+ console = require('console'); console.delimiter('!')
+ box.begin()
+ amount_of_money = 1.00
+ box.space.tester:update({999}, {{'-', 3, amount_of_money}})
+ box.space.tester:update({1000}, {{'+', 3, amount_of_money}})
+ box.commit()
+ console.delimiter('')!

+ Authentication and authorization
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Understanding the details of security is primarily an issue for administrators,
+but ordinary users should at least skim this section so that they will have an
+idea of how Tarantool makes it possible for administrators to prevent
+unauthorized access to the database and to certain functions.
+
+Briefly: there is a method to guarantee with password checks that users really
+are who they say they are ("authentication"). There is a _user space where user
+names and password-hashes are stored. There are functions for saying that
+certain users are allowed to do certain things ("privileges"). There is a _priv
+space where privileges are stored. Whenever a user tries to do an operation,
+there is a check whether the user has the privilege to do the operation
+("access control").
+
+===========================================================
+ Passwords
+===========================================================
+
+Each user may have a password. The password is any alphanumeric string.
+Administrators should advise users to choose long unobvious passwords, but it
+is ultimately up to the users to choose or change their own passwords.
+
+Tarantool passwords are stored in the ``_user`` space with a `Cryptographic hash function`_
+so that, if the password is 'x', the stored hashed-password is a long string
+like '``lL3OvhkIPOKh+Vn9Avlkx69M/Ck=``'. When a client connects to a Tarantool
+server, the server sends a random `Salt Value`_ which the client must mix with the
+hashed-password before sending to the server. Thus the original value 'x' is
+never stored anywhere except in the user's head, and the hashed value is never
+passed down a network wire except when mixed with a random salt. This system
+prevents malicious onlookers from finding passwords by snooping in the log
+files or snooping on the wire. It is the same system that `MySQL introduced
+several years ago`_ which has proved adequate for medium-security installations.
+Nevertheless administrators should warn users that no system is foolproof against
+determined long-term attacks, so passwords should be guarded and changed occasionally.
+
+.. NOTE:
+
+ To get the hash-password of a string '``X``', say ``box.schema.user.password('X')``.
+ To see more about the details of the algorithm for the purpose of writing a new
+ client application, read the `scramble.h`_ header file.
+
+===========================================================
+ Users and the _user space
+===========================================================
+
+The fields in the ``_user`` space are: the numeric id of the tuple, the numeric
+id of the tuple's creator, the user name, the type, and the optional password.
+
+There are three special tuples in the _user space: 'guest', 'admin', and 'public'.
+
+.. container:: table
+
+ +--------+----+------+--------------------------------------------------------+
+ | Name | ID | Type | Description |
+ +========+====+======+========================================================+
+ | guest | 0 | user | Default when connecting remotely. Usually an untrusted |
+ | | | | user with few privileges. |
+ +--------+----+------+--------------------------------------------------------+
+ | admin | 1 | user | Default when using ``tarantool`` as a console. Usually |
+ | | | | an administrative user with all privileges. |
+ +--------+----+------+--------------------------------------------------------+
+ | public | 2 | role | Not a user in the usual sense. Described later in |
+ | | | | section `Roles`_. |
+ +--------+----+------+--------------------------------------------------------+
+
+To select a row from the ``_user`` space, use ``box.space._user:select``. For
+example, here is what happens with a select for user id = 0, which is the
+'guest' user, which by default has no password:
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+ tarantool> box.space._user:select{0}
+ ---
+ - - [0, 1, 'guest', 'user']
+ ...
+
+To change tuples in the ``_user`` space, do not use ordinary ``box.space``
+functions for insert or update or delete - the _user space is special so
+there are special functions which have appropriate error checking.
+
+To create a new user, say ``box.schema.user.create(user-name)`` or
+``box.schema.user.create(user-name, {password=password})``. The form
+``box.schema.user.create(user-name, {password=password})`` is better because
+in a `URI`_ (Uniform Resource Identifier) it is usually illegal to include a
+user-name without a password.
+
+To change the current user's password, say ``box.schema.user.passwd(password)``.
+
+To change a different user's password, say ``box.schema.user.passwd(user-name, password)``.
+(Only the admin user can perform this function.)
+
+To drop a user, say ``box.schema.user.drop(user-name)``.
+
+To check whether a user exists, say ``box.schema.user.exists(user-name)``,
+which returns true or false.
+
+For example, here is a session which creates a new user with a strong password,
+selects a tuple in the ``_user`` space, and then drops the user.
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+ tarantool> box.schema.user.create('JeanMartin', {password = 'Iwtso_6_os$$'})
+ ---
+ ...
+
+ tarantool> box.space._user.index.name:select{'JeanMartin'}
+ ---
+ - - [17, 1, 'JeanMartin', 'user', {'chap-sha1': 't3xjUpQdrt857O+YRvGbMY5py8Q='}]
+ ...
+
+ tarantool> box.schema.user.drop('JeanMartin')
+ ---
+ ...
+
+.. NOTE::
+
+ The maximum number of users is 32.
+
+===========================================================
+ Priveleges and _priv space
+===========================================================
+
+The fields in the ``_priv`` space are: the numeric id of the user who gave the
+privilege ("grantor_id"), the numeric id of the user who received the
+privilege ("grantee_id"), the id of the object, the type of object - "space"
+or "function" or "universe", the type of operation - "read" or "write" or
+"execute" or a combination such as "read,write,execute".
+
+The function for granting a privilege is:
+``box.schema.user.grant(user-name-of-grantee, operation-type, object-type, object-name)`` or
+``box.schema.user.grant(user-name-of-grantee, operation-type, 'universe')``.
+
+The function for revoking a privilege is:
+``box.schema.user.revoke(user-name-of-grantee, operation-type, object-type, object-name)`` or
+``box.schema.user.revoke(user-name-of-grantee, operation-type, 'universe')``.
+
+For example, here is a session where the admin user gave the guest user the
+privilege to read from a space named space55, and then took the privilege away:
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+ tarantool> box.schema.user.grant('guest', 'read', 'space', 'space55')
+ ---
+ ...
+ tarantool> box.schema.user.revoke('guest', 'read', 'space', 'space55')
+ ---
+ ...
+
+.. NOTE::
+
+ Generally privileges are granted or revoked by the owner of the object (the
+ user who created it), or by the 'admin' user. Before dropping any objects
+ or users, steps should be taken to ensure that all their associated
+ privileges have been revoked. Only the 'admin' user can grant privileges
+ for the 'universe'.
+
+
+===========================================================
+ Functions and _func space
+===========================================================
+
+The fields in the ``_func`` space are: the numeric function id, a number,
+and the function name.
+
+The ``_func`` space does not include the function's body. One continues to
+create Lua functions in the usual way, by saying
+"``function function_name () ... end``", without adding anything in the
+``_func`` space. The _func space only exists for storing function tuples so
+that their names can be used within grant/revoke functions.
+
+The function for creating a ``_func`` tuple is:
+``box.schema.func.create(function-name)``.
+
+The function for dropping a ``_func`` tuple is:
+``box.schema.func.drop(function-name)``.
+
+The function for checking whether a ``_func`` tuple exists is:
+``box.schema.func.exists(function-name)``.
+
+In the following example, a function named 'f7' is created, then it is put in
+the ``_func`` space, then it is used in a ``box.schema.user.grant`` function,
+then it is dropped:
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+ tarantool> function f7() box.session.uid() end
+ ---
+ ...
+ tarantool> box.schema.func.create('f7')
+ ---
+ ...
+ tarantool> box.schema.user.grant('guest', 'execute', 'function', 'f7')
+ ---
+ ...
+ tarantool> box.schema.user.revoke('guest', 'execute', 'function', 'f7')
+ ---
+ ...
+ tarantool> box.schema.func.drop('f7')
+ ---
+ ...
+
+===========================================================
+ ``box.session`` and security
+===========================================================
+
+After a connection has taken place, the user has access to a "session" object
+which has several functions. The ones which are of interest for security
+purposes are:
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+ box.session.uid() -- returns the id of the current user
+ box.session.user() -- returns the name of the current user
+ box.session.su(user-name) -- allows changing current user to 'user-name'
+
+If a user types requests directly on the Tarantool server in its interactive
+mode, or if a user connects via telnet to the administrative port (using `admin`_
+instead of listen), then the user by default is 'admin' and has many privileges.
+If a user connects from an application program via one of the `connectors`_, then
+the user by default is 'guest' and has few privileges. Typically an admin user
+will set up and configure objects, then grant privileges to appropriate non-admin
+users. Typically a guest user will use ``box.session.su()`` to change into a non-generic
+user to whom admin has granted more than the default privileges. For example,
+admin might say:
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+ box.space._user:insert{123456,0,'manager'}
+ box.schema.user.grant('manager', 'read', 'space', '_space')
+ box.schema.user.grant('manager', 'read', 'space', 'payroll')
+
+and later a guest user, who wishes to see the payroll, might say:
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+ box.session.su('manager')
+ box.space.payroll:select{'Jones'}
+
+===========================================================
+ Roles
+===========================================================
+
+A role is a container for privileges which can be granted to regular users.
+Instead of granting and revoking individual privileges, one can put all the
+privileges in a role and then grant or revoke the role. Role information is
+in the ``_user`` space but the third field - the type field - is 'role' rather
+than 'user'.
+
+If a role R1 is granted a privilege X, and user U1 is granted a privilege
+"role R1", then user U1 in effect has privilege X. Then if a role R2 is
+granted a privilege Y, and role R1 is granted a privilege "role R2",
+then user U1 in effect has both privilege X and privilege Y. In other words,
+a user gets all the privileges that are granted to a user's roles, directly
+or indirectly.
+
+.. module:: box.schema.role
+
+.. function:: create(role-name)
+
+ Create a new role.
+
+.. function:: grant(role-name, privilege)
+
+ Put a privilege in a role.
+
+.. function:: revoke(role-name, privilege)
+
+ Take a privilege out of a role.
+
+.. function:: drop(role-name)
+
+ Drop a role.
+
+.. function:: info()
+
+ Get information about a role.
+
+.. function:: grant(role-name, 'execute', 'role', role-name)
+
+ Grant a role to a role.
+
+.. function:: revoke(role-name, 'execute', 'role', role-name)
+
+ Revoke a role from a role.
+
+.. function:: exists(role-name)
+
+ Check whether a role exists.
+ :return: true if role-name identifies a role, otherwise false.
+ :rtype: boolean
+
+.. module:: box.schema.user
+
+.. function:: grant(user-name, 'execute', 'role', role-name)
+
+ Grant a role to a user.
+
+.. function:: revoke(user-name, 'execute', 'role', role-name)
+
+ Revoke a role from a user.
+
+There is one predefined role, named 'public', which is automatically assigned
+to new users when they are created with ``box.schema.user.create(user-name)``.
+Therefore a convenient way to grant 'read' on space '``t``' to every user that
+will ever exist is:
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+ box.schema.role.grant('public','read','space','t').
+
+===========================================================
+ Example
+===========================================================
+
+In this example, a new user named U1 will insert a new tuple into a new space
+named T, and will succeed even though user U1 has no direct privilege to do
+such an insert -- that privilege is inherited from role R1, which in turn
+inherits from role R2.
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+ -- This example will work for a user with many privileges, such as 'admin'
+ box.schema.space.create('T')
+ box.space.T:create_index('primary',{})
+ -- Create a user U1 so that later it's possible to say box.session.su('U1')
+ box.schema.user.create('U1')
+ -- Create two roles, R1 and R2
+ box.schema.role.create('R1')
+ box.schema.role.create('R2')
+ -- Grant role R2 to role R1 and role R1 to U1 (order doesn't matter)
+ box.schema.role.grant('R1','execute','role','R2')
+ box.schema.role.grant('U1','execute','role','R1')
+ -- Grant read and execute privileges to R2 (but not to R1 and not to U1)
+ box.schema.role.grant('R2','read,write','space','T')
+ box.schema.role.grant('R2','execute','universe')
+ -- Use box.session.su to say "now become user U1"
+ box.session.su('U1')
+ -- The following insert succeeds because U1 in effect has write privilege on T
+ box.space.T:insert{1}

+ Package `box.slab`
+=====================================================================
+
+.. module:: box.slab
+
+The ``box.slab`` package provides access to slab allocator statistics. The
+slab allocator is the main allocator used to store tuples. This can be used
+to monitor the total memory use and memory fragmentation.
+
+The display of slabs is broken down by the slab size -- 64-byte, 136-byte,
+and so on. The example omits the slabs which are empty. The example display
+is saying that: there are 16 items stored in the 64-byte slab (and 16*64=102
+so bytes_used = 1024); there is 1 item stored in the 136-byte slab
+(and 136*1=136 so bytes_used = 136); the arena_used value is the total of all
+the bytes_used values (1024+136 = 1160); the arena_size value is the arena_used
+value plus the total of all the bytes_free values (1160+4193200+4194088 = 8388448).
+The arena_size and arena_used values are the amount of the % of slab_alloc_arena
+that is already distributed to the slab allocator.

+ Package `box.tuple`
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. module:: box.tuple
+
+The ``box.tuple`` package provides read-only access for the ``box.tuple``
+userdata type. It allows, for a single tuple: selective retrieval of the field
+contents, retrieval of information about size, iteration over all the fields,
+and conversion to a Lua table.
+
+.. function:: new(value)
+
+ Construct a new tuple from either a scalar or a Lua table. Alternatively,
+ one can get new tuples from tarantool's SQL-like statements: SELECT,
+ INSERT, UPDATE, REPLACE, which can be regarded as statements that do
+ ``new()`` implicitly.
+
+ :param lua-value value: the value that will become the tuple contents.
+
+ :return: a new tuple
+ :rtype: tuple
+
+ In the following example, ``x`` will be a new table object containing one
+ tuple and ``t`` will be a new tuple object. Saying ``t`` returns the
+ entire tuple ``t``.
+
+ .. code-block:: lua
+
+ tarantool> x = box.space.tester:insert{33,tonumber('1'),tonumber64('2')}:totable()
+ ---
+ ...
+ tarantool> t = box.tuple.new({'abc', 'def', 'ghi', 'abc'})
+ ---
+ ...
+ tarantool> t
+ ---
+ - ['abc', 'def', 'ghi', 'abc']
+ ...
+
+.. class:: tuple
+
+ .. method:: __len()
+
+ The ``#`` operator in Lua means "return count of components". So,
+ if ``t`` is a tuple instance, ``#t`` will return the number of fields.
+
+ :rtype: number
+
+ In the following example, a tuple named ``t`` is created and then the
+ number of fields in ``t`` is returned.
+
+ .. code-block:: lua
+
+ tarantool> t = box.tuple.new({'Fld#1','Fld#2','Fld#3','Fld#4'})
+ ---
+ ...
+ tarantool> #t
+ ---
+ - 4
+ ...
+
+ .. method:: bsize()
+
+ If ``t`` is a tuple instance, ``t:bsize()`` will return the number of
+ bytes in the tuple. It is useful to check this number when making
+ changes to data, because there is a fixed maximum: one megabyte. Every
+ field has one or more "length" bytes preceding the actual contents, so
+ ``bsize()`` returns a value which is slightly greater than the sum of
+ the lengths of the contents.
+
+ :return: number of bytes
+ :rtype: number
+
+ In the following example, a tuple named ``t`` is created which has
+ three fields, and for each field it takes one byte to store the length
+ and three bytes to store the contents, and a bit for overhead, so
+ ``bsize()`` returns ``3*(1+3)+1``.
+
+ .. code-block:: lua
+
+ tarantool> t = box.tuple.new({'aaa','bbb','ccc'})
+ ---
+ ...
+ tarantool> t:bsize()
+ ---
+ - 13
+ ...
+
+ .. method:: __index(key)
+
+ If ``t`` is a tuple instance, ``t[field-number]`` will return the field
+ numbered field-number in the tuple. The first field is ``t[1]``.
+
+ :return: field value.
+ :rtype: lua-value
+
+ In the following example, a tuple named ``t`` is created and then the

+ ...
+
+ .. method:: find([field-number,] field-value)
+ findall([field-number,] field-value)
+
+ If ``t`` is a tuple instance, ``t:find(field-value)`` will return the
+ number of the first field in ``t`` that matches the field value),
+ and ``t:findall(field-value [, field-value ...])`` will return numbers
+ of all fields in ``t`` that match the field value. Optionally one can
+ put a numeric argument ``field-number`` before the search-value to
+ indicate “start searching at field number ``field-number``.â€
+
+ :return: the number of the field in the tuple.
+ :rtype: number
+
+ In the following example, a tuple named ``t`` is created and then: the
+ number of the first field in ``t`` which matches 'a' is returned, then
+ the numbers of all the fields in ``t`` which match 'a' are returned,
+ then the numbers of all the fields in t which match 'a' and are at or
+ fter the second field are returned.

+ ...
+ tarantool> t:findall(2, 'a')
+ ---
+ - 4
+ ...
+
+ .. method:: transform(start-field-number, fields-to-remove [, field-value ...])
+
+ If ``t`` is a tuple instance, ``t:transform(start-field-number,fields-to-remove)``
+ will return a tuple where, starting from field ``start-field-number``,
+ a number of fields (``fields-to-remove``) are removed. Optionally one
+ can add more arguments after ``fields-to-remove`` to indicate new
+ values that will replace what was removed.
+
+ :param integer start-field-number: base 1, may be negative
+ :param integer fields-to-remove:
+ :param lua-value field-value(s):
+ :return: tuple
+ :rtype: tuple
+
+ In the following example, a tuple named ``t`` is created and then,

+ one is added, then the result is returned.

+ In Lua, ``lua-table-value:pairs()`` is a method which returns:
+ ``function``, ``lua-table-value``, ``nil``. Tarantool has extended
+ this so that ``tuple-value:pairs()`` returns: ``function``,
+ ``tuple-value``, ``nil``. It is useful for Lua iterators, because Lua
+ iterators traverse a value's components until an end marker is reached.
+
+ :return: function, tuple-value, nil

+ .. method:: update({{format, field_number, value}...})
+
+ Update a tuple.
+
+ This function updates a tuple which is not in a space. Compare the function
+ ``box.space.space-name:update{key, format, {field_number, value}...)``,
+ which updates a tuple in a space.
+
+ Parameters: briefly: format indicates the type of update operation such as '``=``'
+ for 'assign new value', ``field_number`` indicates the field number to change such
+ as 2 for field number 2, value indicates the string which operates on the field such
+ as 'B' for a new assignable value = 'B'.
+
+ For details: see the description for ``format``, ``field_number``, and ``value`` in
+ the section ``box.space.space-name:update{key, format, {field_number, value}...)``.
+
+ :return: new tuple
+ :rtype: tuple
+
+ In the following example, a tuple named ``t`` is created and then its second field is
+ updated to equal 'B'.
+
+ .. code-block:: lua
+
+ tarantool> t = box.tuple.new({'Fld#1','Fld#2','Fld#3','Fld#4','Fld#5'})

+
+===========================================================
+ Example
+===========================================================
+
+This function will illustrate how to convert tuples to/from Lua tables and
+lists of scalars:
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+ tuple = box.tuple.new({scalar1, scalar2, ... scalar_n}) -- scalars to tuple
+ lua_table = {tuple:unpack()} -- tuple to Lua table
+ scalar1, scalar2, ... scalar_n = tuple:unpack() -- tuple to scalars
+ tuple = box.tuple.new(lua_table) -- Lua table to tuple
+
+Then it will find the field that contains 'b', remove that field from the tuple,
+and display how many bytes remain in the tuple. The function uses Tarantool
+``box.tuple`` functions ``new()``, ``unpack()``, ``find()``, ``transform()``,
+``bsize()``.
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+ console = require('console'); console.delimiter('!')
+ function example()
+ local tuple1, tuple2, lua_table_1, scalar1, scalar2, scalar3, field_number
+ tuple1 = box.tuple.new({'a', 'b', 'c'})
+ luatable1 = {tuple1:unpack()}
+ scalar1, scalar2, scalar3 = tuple1:unpack()
+ tuple2 = box.tuple.new(luatable1)
+ field_number = tuple2:find('b')
+ tuple2 = tuple2:transform(field_number, 1)
+ return 'tuple2 = ' , tuple2 , ' # of bytes = ' , tuple2:bsize()
+ end!
+ console.delimiter('')!
+
+... And here is what happens when one invokes the function:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+ tarantool> example()
+ ---
+ - 'tuple2 = '
+ - ['a', 'c']
+ - ' # of bytes = '

+ Package `net.box`
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The ``net.box`` package contains connectors to remote database systems. One
+variant, ``box.net.sql``, is for connecting to MySQL or MariaDB or PostgreSQL —
+that variant is the subject of the `SQL DBMS plugins`_ appendix. In this section
+the subject is the built-in variant, ``box.net``. This is for connecting to
+tarantool servers via a network.
+
+Call ``require('net.box')`` to get a ``net.box`` object, which will be called
+``net_box`` for examples in this section. Call ``net_box.new()`` to connect and
+get a connection object, which will be called conn for examples in this section.
+Call the other ``net.box()`` routines, passing ``conn:``, to execute requests on
+the remote box. Call `conn:close`_ to disconnect.
+
+.. _conn:close: :func:`connection_object:close`
+
+All `net.box`` methods are fiber-safe, that is, it is safe to share and use the
+same connection object across multiple concurrent fibers. In fact, it's perhaps
+the best programming practice with Tarantool. When multiple fibers use the same
+connection, all requests are pipelined through the same network socket, but each
+fiber gets back a correct response. Reducing the number of active sockets lowers
+the overhead of system calls and increases the overall server performance. There
+are, however, cases when a single connection is not enough — for example when it's
+necessary to prioritize requests or to use different authentication ids.
+
+.. module:: net_box
+
+.. function:: new(host, port [, {params}])
+
+ Create a new connection. The connection is established on demand, at the
+ time of the first request. It is re-established automatically after a
+ disconnect. The returned conn object supports methods for making remote
+ requests, such as select, update or delete.
+
+ For the local tarantool server there is a pre-created always-established
+ connection object named net_box.self. Its purpose is to make polymorphic
+ use of the ``net_box`` API easier. Therefore ``conn = net_box:new('localhost', 3301)``
+ can be replaced by ``conn = net_box.self``. However, there is an important
+ difference between the embedded connection and a remote one. With the
+ embedded connection, requests which do not modify data do not yield.
+ When using a remote connection, any request can yield, and local database
+ state may have changed by the time it returns.

+ .. method:: timeout(timeout)
+
+ ``timeout(...)`` is a wrapper which sets a timeout for the request that
+ follows it.
+
+ .. code-block:: lua
+
+ conn:timeout(0.5).space.tester:update({1}, {{'=', 2, 15}}).
+
+ All remote calls support execution timeouts. Using a wrapper object makes
+ the remote connection API compatible with the local one, removing the need
+ for a separate timeout argument, which the local version would ignore. Once
+ a request is sent, it cannot be revoked from the remote server even if a
+ timeout expires: the timeout expiration only aborts the wait for the remote
+ server response, not the request itself.

+ Example
+===========================================================
+
+This example will work with the sandbox configuration described in the preface.
+That is, there is a space named tester with a numeric primary key. Assume that
+the database is nearly empty. Assume that the tarantool server is running on
+``localhost 127.0.0.1:3301``.
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+ tarantool> box.schema.user.grant('guest', 'read,write,execute', 'universe')

+ tarantool> console = require('console'); console.delimiter('!')
+ ---
+ ...
+ tarantool> net_box = require('net.box')!
+ ---
+ ...
+ tarantool> function example()
+ > if net_box.self:ping() then
+ > table.insert(ta, 'self:ping() succeeded')
+ > table.insert(ta, ' (no surprise -- self connection is pre-established)')
+ > end
+ > if box.cfg.listen == '3301' then
+ > table.insert(ta,'The local server listen address = 3301')
+ > else
+ > table.insert(ta, 'The local server listen address is not 3301')
+ > table.insert(ta, '( (maybe box.cfg{...listen="3301"...} was not stated)')
+ > table.insert(ta, '( (so connect will fail)')
+ > end
+ > conn = net_box:new('127.0.0.1', 3301)
+ > conn.space.tester:delete{800}
+ > table.insert(ta, 'conn delete done on tester.')
