+Synchronously get a value by `key`. Receives the same options as `db._get()`. Must return a value, or `undefined` if not found.
+
+The default `_getSync()` throws a [`LEVEL_NOT_SUPPORTED`](#level_not_supported) error. It should be overridden but support of `_getSync()` is currently opt-in. Set `manifest.getSync` to `true` in order to enable tests.
+
 ### `db._getMany(keys, options)`
 
 Get multiple values by an array of `keys`. The `options` object will always have the following properties: `keyEncoding` and `valueEncoding`. Must return a promise. If an error occurs, reject the promise. Otherwise resolve the promise with an array of values. If a key does not exist, set the relevant value to `undefined`.
