# 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.

## REQUIREMENTS

* OCaml

* Either the GDBM library or any NDBM-compatible library.  Make sure to install the development files as well.  For Debian or Ubuntu, install the package `libgdbm-dev`.

## INSTALLATION

* Run the "configure" script by typing

       ./configure

* Build the library:

       make all

* Test the library:

       make test

* Install the library:

       sudo make install

## USAGE

In bytecode:

     ocamlc dbm.cma 

In native code:
