With a -programming interface that is very similar to LDAP, ldb can store its -data either in a tdb(3) database or in a real LDAP database\&. -.PP -When used with the tdb backend ldb does not require any database -daemon\&. Instead, ldb function calls are processed immediately by the -ldb library, which does IO directly on the database, while allowing -multiple readers/writers using operating system byte range locks\&. This -leads to an API with very low overheads, often resulting in speeds of -more than 10x what can be achieved with a more traditional LDAP -architecture\&. -.PP -It a taxonomy of databases ldb would sit half way between key/value -pair databases (such as berkley db or tdb) and a full LDAP -database\&. With a structured attribute oriented API like LDAP and good -indexing capabilities, ldb can be used for quite sophisticated -applications that need a light weight database, without the -administrative overhead of a full LDAP installation\&. -.PP -Included with ldb are a number of useful command line tools for -manipulating a ldb database\&. These tools are similar in style to the -equivalent ldap command line tools\&. -.PP -In its default mode of operation with a tdb backend, ldb can also be -seen as a "schema-less LDAP"\&. By default ldb does not require a -schema, which greatly reduces the complexity of getting started with -ldb databases\&. As the complexity of you application grows you can take -advantage of some of the optional schema-like attributes that ldb -offers, or you can migrate to using the full LDAP api while keeping -your exiting ldb code\&. -.PP -If you are new to ldb, then I suggest starting with the manual pages -for ldbsearch(1) and ldbedit(1), and experimenting with a local -database\&. Then I suggest you look at the ldb_connect(3) and -ldb_search(3) manual pages\&. -.PP -.SH "INDEX" -.PP -.IP -.IP "\fBldbsearch(1)\fP" -command line ldb search utility -.IP -.IP "\fBldbedit(1)\fP" -edit all or part of a ldb databse using your -favourite editor -.IP -.IP "\fBldbedit(1)\fP" -edit all or part of a ldb databse using your -favourite editor -.IP -.IP "\fBldbadd(1)\fP" -add records to a ldb database using LDIF formatted input -.IP -.IP "\fBldbdel(1)\fP" -delete records from a ldb database -.IP -.IP "\fBldbmodify(1)\fP" -modify records in a ldb database using LDIF -formatted input -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_connect(3)\fP" -connect to a ldb backend -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_close(3)\fP" -close a connection to a ldb backend -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_search(3)\fP" -perform a database search -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_search_free(3)\fP" -free the results of a ldb_search -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_add(3)\fP" -add a record to the database -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_delete(3)\fP" -delete a record from the database -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_modify(3)\fP" -modify a record in the database -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_errstring(3)\fP" -retrieve extended error information from the -last operation -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_ldif_write(3)\fP" -write a LDIF formatted message -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_ldif_write_\fB3\fP\fP" -write a LDIF formatted message to a file -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_ldif_read(3)\fP" -read a LDIF formatted message -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_ldif_read_free(3)\fP" -free the result of a ldb_ldif_read() -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_ldif_read_\fB3\fP\fP" -read a LDIF message from a file -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_ldif_read_string(3)\fP" -read a LDIF message from a string -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_msg_find_element(3)\fP" -find an element in a ldb_message -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_val_equal_exact(3)\fP" -compare two ldb_val structures -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_msg_find_val(3)\fP" -find an element by value -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_msg_add_empty(3)\fP" -add an empty message element to a ldb_message -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_msg_add(3)\fP" -add a non-empty message element to a ldb_message -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_msg_element_compare(3)\fP" -compare two ldb_message_element structures -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_msg_find_int(3)\fP" -return an integer value from a ldb_message -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_msg_find_uint(3)\fP" -return an unsigned integer value from a ldb_message -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_msg_find_double(3)\fP" -return a double value from a ldb_message -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_msg_find_string(3)\fP" -return a string value from a ldb_message -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_set_alloc(3)\fP" -set the memory allocation function to be used by ldb -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_set_debug(3)\fP" -set a debug handler to be used by ldb -.IP -.IP "\fBldb_set_debug_stderr(3)\fP" -set a debug handler for stderr output -.IP -.PP -.SH "AUTHOR" -.PP -ldb was written by Andrew Tridgell -http://samba\&.org/~tridge/ -.PP -If you wish to report a problem or make a suggestion then please see -the http://ldb\&.samba\&.org/ web site for -current contact and maintainer information\&. -.PP -ldb is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2 -or later\&.
