These routines are provided to a programmer needing to create and manipulate a hashed database' and is an app. There are nine alternatives to GDBM for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Android and iPhone apps. The best GDBM alternative is LevelDB, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like GDBM are Berkeley DB, Kyoto Cabinet, QDBM and Tokyo Cabinet.
