-:mod:`whichdb` --- Guess which DBM module created a database
-============================================================
-
-.. module:: whichdb
- :synopsis: Guess which DBM-style module created a given database.
-
-
-The single function in this module attempts to guess which of the several simple
-database modules available--\ :mod:`dbm`, :mod:`gdbm`, or :mod:`dbhash`\
---should be used to open a given file.
-
-
-.. function:: whichdb(filename)
-
- Returns one of the following values: ``None`` if the file can't be opened
- because it's unreadable or doesn't exist; the empty string (``''``) if the
- file's format can't be guessed; or a string containing the required module name,
- such as ``'dbm'`` or ``'gdbm'``.
