gdbm-1.24.tar.gz
Noteworthy changes in this release:
* New gdbm_load option: --update
The --update (-U) option instructs gdbm_load to update an existing
database.
* Fix semantics of gdbm_load -r
The --replace (-r) is valid only when used together with --update.
* Use getline in gdbmtool shell.
* New function: gdbm_load_from_file_ext
In contrast to gdbm_load and gdbm_load_from_file, which derive the value
of the flag parameter for gdbm_open from the value of their "replace"
argument, this function allows the caller to specify it explicitly.
The prototype is:
int gdbm_load_from_file_ext (GDBM_FILE *pdbf, FILE *fp,
int flags, int replace, int meta_mask,
unsigned long *line);
* Bugfixes
** Fix binary dump format for key and/or data of zero size.
(see https://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/bugs/?565)
** Fix location tracking and recover command in gdbtool.
(see https://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/bugs/?566)
** Fix possible buffer underflow in gdbmload.
** Make sure that any padding bytes in avail_elem structure are filled with 0.
(fixes https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031276)
** Improve the documentation.
Best regards,
Sergey
