The sources accompanying this notice -- sdbm -- constitute the first public release (Dec. 1990) of a complete clone of the Berkeley UN*X ndbm library. The sdbm library is meant to clone the proven functionality of ndbm as closely as possible, including a few improvements. It is practical, easy to understand, and compatible. The sdbm library is not derived from any licensed, proprietary or copyrighted software. The sdbm programming interface is totally compatible with ndbm and includes a slight improvement in database initialization. It is also expected to be binary-compatible under most UN*X versions that support the ndbm library.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
