Bio::DB::Flat::BDB(3) Interface for BioHackathon standard BDB-indexed flat file

SYNOPSIS


#You should not be using this module directly.

See Bio::DB::Flat.

DESCRIPTION

This object provides the basic mechanism to associate positions in files with primary and secondary name spaces. Unlike Bio::Index::Abstract (see Bio::Index::Abstract), this is specialized to work with the BerkeleyDB-indexed ``common'' flat file format worked out at the 2002 BioHackathon.

This object is the guts to the mechanism, which will be used by the specific objects inheriting from it.
