# GDBM_File.pm -- Perl 5 interface to GNU gdbm library. =head1 NAME GDBM_File - Perl5 access to the gdbm library. =head1 SYNOPSIS use GDBM_File ; tie %hash, 'GDBM_File', $filename, &GDBM_WRCREAT, 0640; # Use the %hash array. untie %hash ; =head1 DESCRIPTION B<GDBM_File> is a module which allows Perl programs to make use of the facilities provided by the GNU gdbm library. If you intend to use this module you should really have a copy of the gdbm manualpage at hand. Most of the libgdbm.a functions are available through the GDBM_File interface. Unlike Perl's built-in hashes, it is not safe to C<delete> the current item from a GDBM_File tied hash while iterating over it with C<each>. This is a limitation of the gdbm library. =head1 AVAILABILITY gdbm is available from any GNU archive. The master site is C<ftp.gnu.org>, but you are strongly urged to use one of the many mirrors. You can obtain a list of mirror sites from L<http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html>. =head1 BUGS The available functions and the gdbm/perl interface need to be documented. The GDBM error number and error message interface needs to be added. =head1 SEE ALSO L<perl(1)>, L<DB_File(3)>, L<perldbmfilter>. =cut package GDBM_File; use strict; use warnings; our($VERSION, @ISA, @EXPORT); require Carp; require Tie::Hash; require Exporter; require XSLoader; @ISA = qw(Tie::Hash Exporter); @EXPORT = qw( GDBM_CACHESIZE GDBM_CENTFREE GDBM_COALESCEBLKS GDBM_FAST GDBM_FASTMODE GDBM_INSERT GDBM_NEWDB GDBM_NOLOCK GDBM_OPENMASK GDBM_READER GDBM_REPLACE GDBM_SYNC GDBM_SYNCMODE GDBM_WRCREAT GDBM_WRITER ); # This module isn't dual life, so no need for dev version numbers. $VERSION = '1.17'; XSLoader::load(); 1;
