+"""Generic interface to all dbm clones.
+
+Use
+
+ import dbm
+ d = dbm.open(file, 'w', 0o666)
+
+The returned object is a dbm.bsd, dbm.gnu, dbm.ndbm or dbm.dumb
+object, dependent on the type of database being opened (determined by
+the whichdb function) in the case of an existing dbm. If the dbm does
+not exist and the create or new flag ('c' or 'n') was specified, the
+dbm type will be determined by the availability of the modules (tested
+in the above order).
+
+It has the following interface (key and data are strings):
+
+ d[key] = data # store data at key (may override data at
+ # existing key)
+ data = d[key] # retrieve data at key (raise KeyError if no
+ # such key)
+ del d[key] # delete data stored at key (raises KeyError
+ # if no such key)
+ flag = key in d # true if the key exists
+ list = d.keys() # return a list of all existing keys (slow!)
+
+Future versions may change the order in which implementations are
+tested for existence, add interfaces to other dbm-like
+implementations.
+
+The open function has an optional second argument. This can be 'r',
+for read-only access, 'w', for read-write access of an existing
+database, 'c' for read-write access to a new or existing database, and
+'n' for read-write access to a new database. The default is 'r'.
+
+Note: 'r' and 'w' fail if the database doesn't exist; 'c' creates it
+only if it doesn't exist; and 'n' always creates a new database.
