+TinyCDB is a very fast and simple package for creating and reading constant
+data bases, a data structure introduced by Dan J. Bernstein in his cdb
+package. It may be used to speed up searches in a sequence of (key,value)
+pairs with very big number of records. Example usage is indexing a  big list
+of users - where a search will require linear reading of a large /etc/passwd
+file, and for many other tasks. It's usage/API is similar to ones found in
+BerkeleyDB, gdbm and traditional *nix dbm/ndbm libraries, and is compatible
+in great extent to cdb-0.75 package by Dan Bernstein.
+
+CDB is a constant database, that is, it cannot be updated at a runtime, only
+rebuilt. Rebuilding is atomic operation and is very fast - much faster than of
+many other similar packages. Once created, CDB may be queried, and a query
+takes very little time to complete.
+
+The SlackBuild will install both the binary cdb as well the system library for
+use in other applications such as Postfix.
