+ <para>The GDBM package contains the GNU Database Manager. It is a library
+ of database functions that use extensible hashing and work similar to the
+ standard UNIX dbm. The library provides primitives for storing key/data
+ pairs, searching and retrieving the data by its key and deleting a key
+ along with its data. </para>
