| Description |
These functions allow you to access records stored
in dBase-format (dbf) databases.
There is no support for indexes or memo fields.
The databases are automatically locked with blocking flock()s.
dBase files are simple sequential files of fixed length records.
Records are appended to the end of the file and deleted records
are kept until you call dbase_pack(). |
