Hi all,
there is a new proposal (with bugs you have found repaired):
Proposal:
Integrate gbm (gnu-dbm) into Solaris.
Detail:
A set of database routines that use extensible hashing. It works
like ndbm, however it adds support for arbitrary length data in
the database, as previously (at dbm or ndbm) all data had had a
fixed maximum length.
It also contains the compatibility library which behaves exactly
like dbm or ndbm library (including header files so it can fully
supply those libraries).
The current version of gdbm is 1.8.3 at the time of this case.
Example man page in the case's materials directory.
Release Binding:
Micro

/usr/include/gdbm/gdbm.h Uncommitted Header file
/usr/include/gdbm/ndbm.h Uncommitted Header file
/usr/include/gdbm/dbm.h Uncommitted Header file
* This /usr/include/gdbm/ directory should point out that these
header files does not belong to the original libraries and are
the part of gdbm compatibility routines. So there could be also
installed original libraries simultaneously. That's why there is
this directory.
