-A static and dynamic library for the GNU database routines.
+GNU dbm is a library of database functions that use extensible
+hashing and work similar to the standard UNIX dbm. These routines are
+provided to a programmer needing to create and manipulate a hashed
+database.
 
+The basic use of GDBM is to store key/data pairs in a data file. Each
+key must be unique and each key is paired with only one data item.
 
+The library provides primitives for storing key/data pairs, searching
+and retrieving the data by its key and deleting a key along with its
+data. It also support sequential iteration over all key/data pairs in
+a database.
+
+For compatibility with programs using old UNIX dbm function, the
+package also provides traditional dbm and ndbm interfaces.
