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.") + (license "GPLv3+"))) -- cgit v1.2.3
