For applications that are not limited to the on-disc file format compatibility, but just need an easy key/value storage API, like gdbm users, you could just use the one from BSD libc (ndbm it is called actually, I just looked, between the previous message and this one). https://www.mirbsd.org/man/ndbm.3 Or even: https://www.mirbsd.org/man/dbm.3 https://www.mirbsd.org/man/db.3 Or the btree, hash, mpool, recno ones directly… (rcdb is a MirBSD extension, a plain-text ASCII-based file format accessed using the same API, but editable by $EDITOR by the sysadmin). bye, //mirabilos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
