     3 What is cdb and why does it need your patches?

     4 

     5 cdb is DJ Bernstein's great constant database library. It allows the fast

     6 creation and access to read-only databases. The creation is fast enough to

     7 create those databases often and the access is very fast and uses only very

     8 little code. Also, there are no corruption or locking issues at all.

     9 

    10 Unfortunately, the cdb API has no way to dump all records in a cdb. I need this

    11 functionality for another project called rdbm that I will release soon,

    12 hopefully. rdbm will add write access to cdb using a journal and it will handle

    13 concurrent accesses by offering a TCP server.

    14 

    15 What does your diff do?

    16 

    17 My diff adds simple support for traversing a cdb, i.e. listing all keys in a

    18 cdb. It also adds a new target called "traverse" that is an example program

    19 that will dump the cdb you name on the command line and a target called

    20 "cdbnext" that can list the key following the key given on the command line.

    21 

    22 Where can I get the patch?

    23 

    24 Simply download cdb-0.75-traversal.diff2.bz2 (uncompressed). Beware: unified

    25 diff format (you probably need GNU patch to apply it).
