[XSI] #include <ndbm.h>
The <ndbm.h> header shall define the datum type as a structure that includes at least the following members:
void *dptr A pointer to the application's data. size_t dsize The size of the object pointed to by dptr.The size_t type shall be defined as described in <stddef.h>.
The <ndbm.h> header shall define the DBM type.
The following constants shall be defined as possible values for the store_mode argument to dbm_store():
- DBM_INSERT

- DBM_REPLACE
- Allow replacing existing entries.
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
