+/**
+
+@mainpage
+
+This is a simple database API. 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.
+
+The interface is based on gdbm. gdbm couldn't be use as we needed to be able to
+have multiple writers to the databases at one time.
+
+@section tdb_download Download
+
+You can download the latest releases of tdb from the
+<a href="http://samba.org/ftp/tdb">tdb directory</a> on the samba public source
+archive.
+
+You can download the latest code either via git or rsync.
+
+To fetch via git see the following guide:
+
+<a href="http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Using_Git_for_Samba_Development">Using Git for Samba Development</a>
+Once you have cloned the tree switch to the master branch and cd into the source/lib/tdb directory.
+
+To fetch via rsync use these commands:
+
+<pre>
+  rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/standalone_projects/lib/tdb .
+  rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/standalone_projects/lib/replace .
+</pre>
+
+and build in tdb. It will find the replace library in the directory above
+automatically.
+
+@section tdb_bugs Discussion and bug reports
+
+tdb does not currently have its own mailing list or bug tracking system. For now,
+please use the
+<a href="https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba-technical">samba-technical</a>
+mailing list, and the <a href="http://bugzilla.samba.org/">Samba bugzilla</a> bug
+tracking system.
+
+
+@section tdb_compilation Compilation
+
+add HAVE_MMAP=1 to use mmap instead of read/write
+add NOLOCK=1 to disable locking code
+
+@section tdb_testing Testing
+
+Compile tdbtest.c and link with gdbm for testing. tdbtest will perform
+identical operations via tdb and gdbm then make sure the result is the
+same
+
+Also included is tdbtool, which allows simple database manipulation
+on the commandline.
+
+tdbtest and tdbtool are not built as part of Samba, but are included
+for completeness.
