+    (description
+     "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.")
