  cdb is a fast, reliable, lightweight package for creating and reading
  constant databases. Its database structure provides several features:

  * Fast lookups: A successful lookup in a large database normally takes
    just two disk accesses. An unsuccessful lookup takes only one.
  * Low overhead: A database uses 2048 bytes, plus 24 bytes per record,
    plus the space for keys and data.
  * No random limits: cdb can handle any database up to 4 gigabytes. There
    are no other restrictions; records don't even have to fit into memory.
    Databases are stored in a machine-independent format.
  * Fast atomic database replacement: cdbmake can rewrite an entire
    database two orders of magnitude faster than other hashing packages.
  * Fast database dumps: cdbdump prints the contents of a database in
    cdbmake-compatible format.

  cdb is designed to be used in mission-critical applications like e-mail.
  Database replacement is safe against system crashes. Readers don't have
  to pause during a rewrite.

  Note for developers:  packages that need to read cdb files should
  incorporate the necessary portions of the cdb library rather than
  relying on an external cdb library. (See WWW)
