| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 1 GNU dbm (or GDBM, for short) is a library of database functions that |
| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 2 use extensible hashing and work similar to the standard UNIX dbm. |
| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 3 These routines are provided to a programmer needing to create and |
| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 4 manipulate a hashed database. |
| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 5 |
| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 6 The basic use of GDBM is to store key and data pairs in a data file. |
| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 7 Each key must be unique and each key is paired with only one data item. |
| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 8 |
| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 9 The library provides primitives for storing key and data pairs, |
| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 10 searching and retrieving the data by its key and deleting a key along |
| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 11 with its data. |
| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 12 It also support sequential iteration over all key and data pairs in |
| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 13 a database. |
| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 14 |
| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 15 For compatibility with programs using old UNIX dbm function, the package |
| Hans-G?nter@24588 | 16 also provides traditional dbm and ndbm interfaces |
