NAME
verse - Displays a daily devotional verse from scripture SYNOPSIS
verse DESCRIPTION
Displays a verse taken from the database in /usr/share/verse/daily.verse that is specific for the current date. INTEGRATION
If you invoke verse from /etc/profile then the daily devotional verse will appear on each login for each user. Alternatively you could put the invocation of verse into the .profile of a user and have each user choose if he wants to use verse or not. Note that you will run into trouble if you have dialin users whose scripts call pppd and put the verse call into /etc/profile. The output might confuse the ppp programs.

NAME
tdb - trivial database SYNOPSIS
A database similar to gdbm which allows multiple simultaneous writers. DESCRIPTION
This is a simple database API. It was inspired by the realisation that in Samba we have several ad-hoc bits of code that essentially imple- ment small databases for sharing structures between parts of Samba. As I was about to add another I realised that a generic database module was called for to replace all the ad-hoc bits. I based the interface on gdbm. I couldn't use gdbm as we need to be able to have multiple writers to the databases at one time. AUTHORS
