I'm puzzled over the dbm compatibility mode in gdbm.
The manual entry says there is a function DBM* dbm_open()
(as in Unix dbm) but the type DBM is not defined in dbm.h .

Have I misunderstood how this is meant to be used?
I assumed that the intention was
that one could compile the same program
with a native dbm or with GNU dbm .
