module YAML

# YAML + DBM = YDBM
#
# YAML::DBM provides the same interface as ::DBM.
#
# However, while DBM only allows strings for both keys and values,
# this library allows one to use most Ruby objects for values
# by first converting them to YAML. Keys must be strings.
#
# Conversion to and from YAML is performed automatically.
#
# See the documentation for ::DBM and ::YAML for more information.
