+each file stores a sequence of compressed blocks. If options.block_cache is
+non-NULL, it is used to cache frequently used uncompressed block contents.
 
 ```c++
 #include "leveldb/cache.h"
 
 leveldb::Options options;
-options.cache = leveldb::NewLRUCache(100 * 1048576);  // 100MB cache
+options.block_cache = leveldb::NewLRUCache(100 * 1048576);  // 100MB cache
 leveldb::DB* db;

 ... use the db ...
 delete db
-delete options.cache;

 ```
 
 Note that the cache holds uncompressed data, and therefore it should be sized
