The CamlDBM library

OVERVIEW

This OCaml library is a binding to the NDBM/GDBM Unix “databases” – more exactly, persistent key-value stores.

See the file dbm.mli for documentation of the programming inteface.

This library used to be included in the standard OCaml distribution. This is the standalone distribution of this library, with the same functionalities.

INSTALLATION

• Run the “configure” script by typing ./configure

• Build the library: make all

• Test the library: make test

• Install the library: sudo make install
