-Tclgdbm was hacked together by John Ellson (ellson@lucent.com)
-It was derived from tcl+gdbm by Christian Lindig <lindig@ips.cs.tu-bs.de>
-
-The latest version of Tclgdbm is kept at:
-
- http://www.tcltk.com/ftp/ellson/
-
-
-tclgdbm 0.1.3 - JE - upgrade to tcl7.5 loadable library
-tclgdbm 0.2 - JE - upgrade to tcl7.6 package (loadable library)
-tclgdbm 0.3 - JE - fixes for tcl8.0
-tclgdbm 0.4 - JE - fix mem leak with patch from: t-tange@ats.nis.nec.co.jp
-tclgdbm 0.5 - JE - add gdbm error, and gdbm writemode
- with patch from: Scott Beasley <jscottb@InfoAve.Com>
-tclgdbm 0.6 - JE - support for Stubs (8.0.6, 8.1.1, or later)
-
-NOTE: Dynamic loading requires that libgdbm.a be built with -fpic
- otherwise you may get all kinds of relocation errors from ld.
-
-NOTE: This extension has not yet been converted to use Tcl_Obj
-so the database cannot yet be used to store strings containing NULLs.
-
-
-Tclgdbm
--------
-
This directory contains the source of tclgdbm, a dynamically loaded
extension for accessing GNU gdbm files from tcl/tk. GNU gdbm files
provide persistent mappings from arbitrary keys to values. tclgdbm
uses these features to provide mappings from (short) key
-strings to (larger) data strings. The following example illustrates
-the basic new commands, see below for details:
-
-##
-## load dll
-##
-package require Tclgdbm
-
-##
-## open database "test.data" for read/write (create if not existent)
-##
-set db [gdbm open test.data rwc];
-foreach i {1 2 3 4 5 6} {
- # key is $i, store string "This data for $i"
- gdbm store $db $i "This data for $i" ;
-}
-
-##
-## gdbm list $db gives list of all keys in $db
-##
-foreach key [lsort [gdbm list $db]] {
- # retrieve each content and display it
- puts stdout "$key [gdbm fetch $db $key]" ;
-}
-
-gdbm close $db ;
-
-Commands
---------
-
-gdbm open <file> [r|rw|rwc|rwn]
-
-Opens a gdbm database <file> with an optional mode. If the mode is not
-given it is opened for reading (r). The mode can be (r) (read only),
-(rw) (read,write), (rwc) (read,write and create if not already
-existent), and (rwn) (read,write and create a new database regardless
-if one exists). The command returns a handle <name> which is used to
-refer to the open database.
-
-gdbm close <name>
-
-Close a gdbm database with the name <name>.
-
-gdbm insert <name> <key> <content>
-
-<name> is the name of a gdbm database previously opened with gdbm
-open. Inserts the data <content> giving it the key <key>. If data
-with <key> is already in the database an error is generated. Nothing
-returned.
-
-gdbm store <name> <key> <content>
-
-<name> is the name of a gdbm database previously opened with gdbm
-open. Inserts <content> to the database. If <key> already exists
-the new <content> replaces the old. Nothing returned.
-
-gdbm fetch <name> <key>
-
-<name> is the name of a gdbm database previously opened with gdbm
-open. Searches for <key> in the database and returns the associated
-contents, or returns a tcl error if the key is not found.
-
-gdbm delete <name> <key>
-
-<name> is the name of a gdbm database previously opened with gdbm
-open. Searches for <key> and deletes it in the database. If <key> is
-not found an error is generated. Nothing returned.
-
-gdbm list <name>
-
-<name> is the name of a gdbm database previously opened with gdbm
-open. Returns a list of all keys in the database.
-
-gdbm reorganize <name>
-
-<name> is the name of a gdbm database previously opened with gdbm
-open. This routine can be used to shrink the size of the database
-file if there have been a lot of deletions. Nothing returned.
-
-gdbm exists <name> <key>
-
-Returns "0" if <key> is not found within the previously opened
-database <name>, "1" otherwise.
-
-gdbm firstkey <name>
-gdbm nextkey <name> <lastkey>
-
-A first/next scheme permits retrieving all keys from a database in
-sequential (but unsorted!) order. gdbm firstkey <name> returns a
-starting key, which may be used to retrieve the following key with
-nextkey. nextkey returns the next key to a given previous key. When no
-next key is available, the empty string is returned.

-Speed
------
-
-Here are some (real) execution times on a SparcStation 2 (SunOS
-4.1.1). The file was stored on a local and a remote filesystem.
-See torture.tcl for details.
-
- local fs network fs
-
-create 1000 short entries 2.2 sec 50.0 sec
-read 1000 entries (first/next) 1.2 sec 1.5 sec
-read 1000 entries (list) 1.1 sec 1.3 sec
-delete 100 entries out of 1000 8.7 sec 23.2 sec
-lookup 1000 keys out of 900 0.63 sec 0.82 sec
-
-Summary: write access is expensive, especially on remote file
-systems.

-History
--------
-
-The first version was derived from tclgdbm1.0 by
-<tdoan@x400gate.bnr.ca> from the tcl distribution. The actual version
-is nearly totally rewritten and uses much more of the data structures
-provided by tcl.
-
-Future Plans
-------------
-
-The current version maps a key string to a data string. Future
-versions should map a key string to a list of datastrings i.e.:
-
-gdbm store <db> <key> <list of strings>
-gdbm fetch <db> <key> returns a list
+strings to (larger) data strings.
