=head1 DESCRIPTION |
| 35 |
|
|
|
| 36 |
|
|
This filter ensures that all data written to the DBM file is null |
| 37 |
|
|
terminated. This is useful when you have a perl script that needs |
| 38 |
|
|
to interoperate with a DBM file that a C program also uses. A fairly |
| 39 |
|
|
common issue is for the C application to include the terminating null |
| 40 |
|
|
in a string when it writes to the DBM file. This filter will ensure that |
| 41 |
|
|
all data written to the DBM file can be read by the C application. |
