# tdb

TDB is a Trivial Database. In concept, it is very much like GDBM, and BSD's DB except that it allows multiple simultaneous writers and uses locking internally to keep writers from trampling on each other. TDB is also extremely small.

## Discussion and bug reports

tdb does not currently have its own mailing list or bug tracking system. For now, please use the samba-technical mailing list, and the Samba bugzilla bug tracking system.

## Download

You can download the latest release either via rsync or git.
To fetch via git see the following guide:
Using Git for Samba Development
Once you have cloned the tree switch to the v4-0-test branch and cd into the source/lib/tdb directory.
To fetch via rsync use these commands:

      rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/tdb .
      rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/libreplace .

and build in tdb. It will find the replace library in the directory above automatically.
