+dbh is a library to create and manage 64-bit disk based hash tables,
+which are a convenient way to associate unsigned character keys to
+data records. Any kind of digital information can go into the data
+record, such as text, graphic information, database structures, you
+name it. The idea behind using a DBH is to build the key index
+directly into a multidimensional file format.
