Kyoto Cabinet is a library of routines for managing a database. The database is a simple data file containing records, each is a pair of a key and a value. Every key and value is serial bytes with variable length. Both binary data and character string can be used as a key and a value. Each key must be unique within a database. There is neither concept of data tables nor data types. Records are organized in hash table or B+ tree.

Warning: while this library is thread-safe with Ruby 1.9.x, it is NOT thread-safe with Ruby 1.8.x.

This package contains the bindings for the Ruby scripting language.
