PERL dbmclose Function
Syntax
Definition and Usage
Closes the binding between a hash and a DBM file. Use the tie function with a suitable module.
Return Value
0 on failure
1 on success
Note that functions such as keys and values may return huge lists when used on large DBM files. You may prefer to use the each function to iterate over large DBM files. Example:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# print out history file offsets
dbmopen(%HIST,'/usr/lib/news/history',0666);
while (($key,$val) = each %HIST) {
print $key, ' = ', unpack('L',$val), "\n";
}
dbmclose(%HIST);
