# tdbutil
# 
# Purpose:
#   Contains functions that are used to pack and unpack data
# from Samba's tdb databases.  Samba sometimes represents complex
# data structures as a single value in a database.  These functions
# allow other python scripts to package data types into a single python
# string and unpackage them.
#
#
# XXXXX: This code is no longer used; it's just here for testing
# compatibility with the new (much faster) C implementation.
