Rust crate library for reading/writing GDBM key/value databases
- Read and Write GDBM databases
- Written in safe, native Rust (no FFI).
- Better-than-C: Support all 32-/64-bit and big/little endian variants without recompiling.
- Tuned for modern machines with solid state storage
Alpha: Read-only access works well. Do not use in production.
