****************************************************************************** W A R N I N G ****************************************************************************** Gdbm files have never been `portable' between different operating systems, system architectures, or potentially even different compilers. Differences in byte order, the size of file offsets, and even structure packing make gdbm files non-portable. Therefore, if you intend to send your database to somebody over the wire, please dump it into a portable format using gdbm_dump and send the resulting file instead. The receiving party will be able to recreate the database from the dump using the gdbm_load command. Please refer to the documentation, chapters 25 and 26, for a detailed discussion of these two tools. Run `info gdbm gdbm_dump', if gdbm is already installed on your system, or `info -f doc/gdbm.info gdbm_dump' to read the docs from the source tree. The documentation is also available online at http://www.gnu.org.ua/software/gdbm/manual.
