Thanks.  I've just send a message to hackers@freebsd.org asking interested
parties who know something about DBM to take a look at these and give them
the once over.  When that's done I'll commit them ASAP.

Cheers,

I just took a look at the manpage, and it seems fine (from the
technical part)

However, the manpage itself should be reworked, imo.

* "normally" appears quite often
* return values shouldn#t be in the DESCRIPTION

Also, more detailed descriptions for the functions and its arguments
could be useful.
