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