Description-en: GNU dbm database routines (legacy support runtime version)
GNU dbm ('gdbm') is a library of database functions that use extendible
hashing and works similarly to the standard UNIX 'dbm' functions.
.
The basic use of 'gdbm' is to store key/data pairs in a data file, thus
providing a persistent version of the 'dictionary' Abstract Data Type
('hash' to perl programmers).
.
This package includes library files, required to run old programs,
that use legacy 'dbm' interface. For new programs, please use modern
interface, provided by libgdbm6 and libgdbm-dev.
