- Description
-
gdbm represents a command line front-end for GNU dbm
database files allowing users to perform almost any operation
provided by the gdbm library itself.
GNU dbm is a so-called disk file format, which stores
key/data-pairs in a single file. The actual data of any
record being stored is referred to by an unique key. The
internal structure of the file allows searching for specific
entries to take much less time, than searching a
text file, for example. The time it takes to retrieve the
data of a specified key is close to constant (O(1)),
regardless of the amount of records being stored.
