 """ This module provides an interface to the GNU DBM (GDBM) library.
 
 This module is quite similar to the dbm module, but uses GDBM instead to
 provide some additional functionality. Please note that the file formats
 created by GDBM and dbm are incompatible. 
 
 GDBM objects behave like mappings (dictionaries), except that keys and
 values are always strings. Printing a GDBM object doesn't print the
 keys and values, and the items() and values() methods are not
 supported. """

   """ open(filename, [flags, [mode]])  -> dbm_object
   Open a dbm database and return a dbm object. The filename argument is
   the name of the database file.
   
   The optional flags argument can be 'r' (to open an existing database
   for reading only -- default), 'w' (to open an existing database for
   reading and writing), 'c' (which creates the database if it doesn't
   exist), or 'n' (which always creates a new empty database).
   
   Some versions of gdbm support additional flags which must be
   appended to one of the flags described above. The module constant
   'open_flags' is a string of valid additional flags. The 'f' flag
   opens the database in fast mode; altered data will not automatically
   be written to the disk after every change. This results in faster
   writes to the database, but may result in an inconsistent database
   if the program crashes while the database is still open. Use the
   sync() method to force any unwritten data to be written to the disk.
   The 's' flag causes all database operations to be synchronized to
   disk. The 'u' flag disables locking of the database file.
   
   The optional mode argument is the Unix mode of the file, used only
   when the database has to be created. It defaults to octal 0666.  """
