The Berkeley DB family of open source, embeddable databases
provides developers with fast, reliable persistence with zero
administration. Often deployed as "edge" databases, the Berkeley DB
family provides very high performance, reliability, scalability,
and availability for application use cases that do not require SQL.
</p>
<p>
As an open source database, Berkeley DB works on many different
platforms, from Wind River's VxWorks system, to Windows,
and on most existing UNIX
platforms. It runs on 32 and 64-bit machines, little or big-endian.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Berkeley DB Porting Guide</em></span> provides the information you need to
port Berkeley DB 18 Release 18.1 (library version 18.1.40)
to additional platforms.

The following typographical conventions are used within in this manual:
</p>
<p>
Structure names are represented in <code class="classname">monospaced font</code>, as are <code class="methodname">method
names</code>. For example: "<code class="methodname">DB->open()</code> is a method
on a <code class="classname">DB</code> handle."
</p>
<p>
Variable or non-literal text is presented in <span class="emphasis"><em>italics</em></span>. For example: "Go to your
<span class="emphasis"><em>DB_INSTALL</em></span>
directory."
</p>
<p>
Program examples are displayed in a <code class="classname">monospaced font</code> on a shaded background.
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">/* File: gettingstarted_common.h */
typedef struct stock_dbs {
DB *inventory_dbp; /* Database containing inventory information */
DB *vendor_dbp; /* Database containing vendor information */
char *db_home_dir; /* Directory containing the database files */
char *inventory_db_name; /* Name of the inventory database */
char *vendor_db_name; /* Name of the vendor database */
} STOCK_DBS; </pre>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
