PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
       ndbm.h -- definitions for ndbm database operations
SYNOPSIS
       #include <ndbm.h>
DESCRIPTION
       The <ndbm.h> header shall define the datum type as a  structure,  which
       shall include at least the following members:
           void   *dptr  A pointer to the application's data.
           size_t  dsize The size of the object pointed to by dptr.
       The  <ndbm.h> header shall define the size_t type as described in <std-
       def.h>.
       The <ndbm.h> header shall define the DBM type.
       The <ndbm.h> header shall define the following  symbolic  constants  as
       possible values for the store_mode argument to dbm_store():
       DBM_INSERT    Insertion of new entries only.
       DBM_REPLACE   Allow replacing existing entries.
       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
           int     dbm_clearerr(DBM *);
           void    dbm_close(DBM *);
           int     dbm_delete(DBM *, datum);
           int     dbm_error(DBM *);
           datum   dbm_fetch(DBM *, datum);
           datum   dbm_firstkey(DBM *);
           datum   dbm_nextkey(DBM *);
           DBM    *dbm_open(const char *, int, mode_t);
           int     dbm_store(DBM *, datum, datum, int);
       The <ndbm.h> header shall define the mode_t type  through  typedef,  as
       described in <sys/types.h>.
