/**
 * @defgroup tdb The tdb API
 *
 * tdb is a Trivial database. In concept, it is very much like GDBM, and BSD's
 * DB except that it allows multiple simultaneous writers and uses locking
 * internally to keep writers from trampling on each other. tdb is also
 * extremely small.
 *
 * @section tdb_interface Interface
 *
 * The interface is very similar to gdbm except for the following:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>different open interface. The tdb_open call is more similar to a
 * traditional open()</li>
 * <li>no tdbm_reorganise() function</li>
 * <li>no tdbm_sync() function. No operations are cached in the library
 *     anyway</li>
 * <li>added a tdb_traverse() function for traversing the whole database</li>
 * <li>added transactions support</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * A general rule for using tdb is that the caller frees any returned TDB_DATA
 * structures. Just call free(p.dptr) to free a TDB_DATA return value called p.
 * This is the same as gdbm.
