Libdb is a library for manipulating database files, developed at berkeley.

it supports three kinds of file formats:
* btree. a representation of a sorted, balanced tree structure.
* hashed. an extensible, dynamic hashing scheme.
* unix file oriented. a byte stream file with fixed or variable length
records.
this library exists for compatibility with applications built against glibc 2.0 or 2.1. there is intentionally no corresponding development package. do not link new applications against this library!
