+ * Document-class: GDBM
+ *
+ * == Summary
+ *
+ * Ruby extension for GNU dbm (gdbm) -- a simple database engine for storing
+ * key-value pairs on disk.
+ *
+ * == Description
+ *
+ * GNU dbm is a library for simple databases. A database is a file that stores
+ * key-value pairs. Gdbm allows the user to store, retrieve, and delete data by
+ * key. It furthermore allows a non-sorted traversal of all key-value pairs.
+ * A gdbm database thus provides the same functionality as a hash. As
+ * with objects of the Hash class, elements can be accessed with <tt>[]</tt>.
+ * Furthermore, GDBM mixes in the Enumerable module, thus providing convenient
+ * methods such as #find, #collect, #map, etc.
+ *
+ * A process is allowed to open several different databases at the same time.
+ * A process can open a database as a "reader" or a "writer". Whereas a reader
+ * has only read-access to the database, a writer has read- and write-access.
+ * A database can be accessed either by any number of readers or by exactly one
+ * writer at the same time.
+ *
+ * == Examples
+ *
+ * 1. Opening/creating a database, and filling it with some entries:
+ *
+ * require 'gdbm'
+ *
+ * gdbm = GDBM.new("fruitstore.db")
+ * gdbm["ananas"] = "3"
+ * gdbm["banana"] = "8"
+ * gdbm["cranberry"] = "4909"
+ * gdbm.close
+ *
+ * 2. Reading out a database:
+ *
+ * require 'gdbm'
+ *
+ * gdbm = GDBM.new("fruitstore.db")
+ * gdbm.each_pair do |key, value|
+ * print "#{key}: #{value}\n"
+ * end
+ * gdbm.close
+ *
+ * produces
+ *
+ * banana: 8
+ * ananas: 3
+ * cranberry: 4909
+ *
+ * == Links
