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