It was inspired by the realisation that +in Samba we have several ad-hoc bits of code that essentially +implement small databases for sharing structures between parts of +Samba. As I was about to add another I realised that a generic +database module was called for to replace all the ad-hoc bits. +.sp +I based the interface on gdbm. I couldn't use gdbm as we need to be +able to have multiple writers to the databases at one time. +.SH AUTHORS +Software: Andrew Tridgell <tridge@linuxcare.com> and +Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton +Man page: Ben Woodard <ben@valinux.com> +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR gdbm (3), +.BR tdb_open (3), +.BR tdb_close (3), +.BR tdb_delete (3), +.BR tdb_error (3), +.BR tdb_exists (3), +.BR tdb_fetch (3), +.BR tdb_firstkey (3), +.BR tdb_store (3), +.BR tdb_traverse (3), +.BR tdb_lockall (3), +.BR tdb_lockkeys (3), +.BR tdb_chainlock (3) |
