Line 5: ==History== The original ''dbm'' library and file format was a simple [[database engine]], originally written by [[Ken Thompson]] and released by [[AT&T]] in 1979. The name is a [[three letter acronym]] ~~(TLA)~~ for ''DataBase Manager'', and can also refer to the family of database engines with APIs and features derived from the original ''dbm''. The ''dbm'' library stores arbitrary data by use of a single key (a [[primary key]]) in fixed-size buckets and uses [[hash function\|hashing]] techniques to enable fast retrieval of the data by key.
