40 | (description | |
41 | "GNU dbm (or GDBM, for short) is a library of database functions | |
42 | that use extensible hashing and work similar to the standard UNIX dbm. | |
43 | These routines are provided to a programmer needing to create and | |
44 | manipulate a hashed database. | |
45 | ||
46 | The basic use of GDBM is to store key/data pairs in a data file. Each | |
47 | key must be unique and each key is paired with only one data item. | |
48 | ||
49 | The library provides primitives for storing key/data pairs, searching | |
50 | and retrieving the data by its key and deleting a key along with its | |
51 | data. It also support sequential iteration over all key/data pairs in a | |
52 | database. | |
53 | ||
54 | For compatibility with programs using old UNIX dbm function, the package | |
55 | also provides traditional dbm and ndbm interfaces.") | |
