i;I"Description;T@o;
;[I"QGNU dbm is a library for simple databases. A database is a file that stores ;TI"Rkey-value pairs. Gdbm allows the user to store, retrieve, and delete data by ;TI"Okey. It furthermore allows a non-sorted traversal of all key-value pairs. ;TI"HA gdbm database thus provides the same functionality as a hash. As ;TI"Pwith objects of the Hash class, elements can be accessed with <tt>[]</tt>. ;TI"QFurthermore, GDBM mixes in the Enumerable module, thus providing convenient ;TI"0methods such as #find, #collect, #map, etc.;T@o;
;[
I"PA process is allowed to open several different databases at the same time. ;TI"QA process can open a database as a "reader" or a "writer". Whereas a reader ;TI"Phas only read-access to the database, a writer has read- and write-access. ;TI"RA database can be accessed either by any number of readers or by exactly one ;TI"writer at the same time.;T@S;	;
