The eXode database manager is a structured ASCII-based database library. EXdbm can be used to manage the configuration files of eXode clients. . The library uses a tree of hash tables structures stored in memory, favouring speed upon memory consumption. This is not a general purpose database library, its efficiency is based on the fact that the databases managed contain less than a few thousand entries. . Note that eXdbm is a general purpose configuration library, it can be used in many other applications without relations to the eXode project. .
