+      '' GNU dbm (or GDBM, for short) is a library of database functions that
+         use extensible hashing and work similar to the standard UNIX dbm.
+         These routines are provided to a programmer needing to create and
+         manipulate a hashed database.
+
+         The basic use of GDBM is to store key/data pairs in a data file.
+         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.
