-:mod:`dbm.bsd` --- DBM-style interface to the BSD database library
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-.. module:: dbm.bsd
-   :synopsis: DBM-style interface to the BSD database library.
-.. sectionauthor:: Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org>
-
-.. index:: module: bsddb
-
-The :mod:`dbm.bsd` module provides a function to open databases using the BSD
-``db`` library.  This module mirrors the interface of the other Python database
-modules that provide access to DBM-style databases.  The :mod:`bsddb` module is
-required  to use :mod:`dbm.bsd`.
-
-.. exception:: error
-
-   Exception raised on database errors other than :exc:`KeyError`.  It is a synonym
-   for :exc:`bsddb.error`.
-
-
-.. function:: open(path[, flag[, mode]])
-
-   Open a ``db`` database and return the database object.  The *path* argument is
-   the name of the database file.
-
-   The *flag* argument can be:
-
-   +---------+-------------------------------------------+
-   | Value   | Meaning                                   |
-   +=========+===========================================+
-   | ``'r'`` | Open existing database for reading only   |
-   |         | (default)                                 |
-   +---------+-------------------------------------------+
-   | ``'w'`` | Open existing database for reading and    |
-   |         | writing                                   |
-   +---------+-------------------------------------------+
-   | ``'c'`` | Open database for reading and writing,    |
-   |         | creating it if it doesn't exist           |
-   +---------+-------------------------------------------+
-   | ``'n'`` | Always create a new, empty database, open |
-   |         | for reading and writing                   |
-   +---------+-------------------------------------------+
-
-   For platforms on which the BSD ``db`` library supports locking, an ``'l'``
-   can be appended to indicate that locking should be used.
-
-   The optional *mode* parameter is used to indicate the Unix permission bits that
-   should be set if a new database must be created; this will be masked by the
-   current umask value for the process.
-
-   The database objects returned by :func:`open` provide the methods common to all
-   the DBM-style databases and mapping objects.  The following methods are
-   available in addition to the standard methods:
-
-   .. method:: dbhash.first()
-
-      It's possible to loop over every key/value pair in the database using this
-      method   and the :meth:`next` method.  The traversal is ordered by the databases
-      internal hash values, and won't be sorted by the key values.  This method
-      returns the starting key.
-
-   .. method:: dbhash.last()
-
-      Return the last key/value pair in a database traversal.  This may be used to
-      begin a reverse-order traversal; see :meth:`previous`.
-
-   .. method:: dbhash.next()
-
-      Returns the key next key/value pair in a database traversal.  The following code
-      prints every key in the database ``db``, without having to create a list in
-      memory that contains them all::
-
-         print(db.first())
-         for i in range(1, len(db)):
-             print(db.next())
-
-   .. method:: dbhash.previous()
-
-      Returns the previous key/value pair in a forward-traversal of the database. In
-      conjunction with :meth:`last`, this may be used to implement a reverse-order
-      traversal.
-
-   .. method:: dbhash.sync()
-
-      This method forces any unwritten data to be written to the disk.
