MDBM Developer Guide

Note: MDBM 2.x support was terminated on 1-Oct-2012. This includes the V2 file format. If you have V2 files, they must be migrated to V3 file format.

MDBM is a fast dbm (key-value store) clone originally based on Ozan Yigit’s sdbm.

This MDBM Developer Guide is a reference for building applications with MDBM 4.3.0 . This software version is not binary or API backward compatible with MDBM V3 software, but the APIs are very similar. This version uses the V3 file format,.
