+    longDescription = ''
+       GNU dbm (or GDBM, for short) is a library of database functions that
+       use extensible hashing and work similar to the standard UNIX dbm.
+       These routines are provided to a programmer needing to create and
+       manipulate a hashed database.
+
+       The basic use of GDBM is to store key/data pairs in a data file.
+       Each key must be unique and each key is paired with only one data
+       item.
+
+       The library provides primitives for storing key/data pairs,
+       searching and retrieving the data by its key and deleting a key
+       along with its data.  It also support sequential iteration over all
+       key/data pairs in a database.
+
+       For compatibility with programs using old UNIX dbm function, the
+       package also provides traditional dbm and ndbm interfaces.
