GNU dbm version 1.24
Item posted by Sergey Poznyakoff <gray> on Tue 02 Jul 2024 02:28:09 PM UTC.
GNU dbm version 1.24 is available for download. New in this version:
New gdbm_load option: --update
The --update (-U) option instructs gdbm_load to update an existing database.
Fix semantics of gdbm_load -r
The --replace (-r) is valid only when used together with --update.
Use getline in gdbmtool shell
New function: gdbm_load_from_file_ext
In contrast to gdbm_load and gdbm_load_from_file, which derive the value of the flag parameter for gdbm_open from the value of their replace argument, this function allows the caller to specify it explicitly.
Bugfixes
- Fix binary dump format for key and/or data of zero size (see bug 656)
- Fix location tracking and recover command in gdbtool (see bug 566)
- Fix possible buffer underflow in gdbmload.
- Ensure any padding bytes in avail_elem structure are filled with 0. This fixes debian bug 1031276.
- Improve the documentation.
