The Berkeley DB family of open source, embeddable databases
provides developers with fast, reliable persistence with zero
administration. Often deployed as "edge" databases, the Berkeley DB
family provides very high performance, reliability, scalability,
and availability for application use cases that do not require SQL.
</p>
<p>
As an open source database, Berkeley DB works on many different
platforms, from Wind River's Tornado system, to VMS, to
Windows NT and Windows 95, and most existing UNIX
platforms. It runs on 32 and 64-bit machines, little or big-endian.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Berkeley DB Porting Guide</em></span> provides the information you need to
port Berkeley DB to additional platforms.

The following typographical conventions are used within in this manual:
</p>
<p>
Structure names are represented in <tt class="classname">monospaced font</tt>, as are <tt class="methodname">method
names</tt>. For example: "<tt class="methodname">DB->open()</tt> is a method
on a <tt class="classname">DB</tt> handle."
</p>
<p>
Variable or non-literal text is presented in <span class="emphasis"><em>italics</em></span>. For example: "Go to your
<span class="emphasis"><em>DB_INSTALL</em></span>
directory."
</p>
<p>
Program examples are displayed in a <tt class="classname">monospaced font</tt> on a shaded background.
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">/* File: gettingstarted_common.h */
typedef struct stock_dbs {
DB *inventory_dbp; /* Database containing inventory information */
DB *vendor_dbp; /* Database containing vendor information */
char *db_home_dir; /* Directory containing the database files */
char *inventory_db_name; /* Name of the inventory database */
char *vendor_db_name; /* Name of the vendor database */
} STOCK_DBS; </pre>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
Finally, notes of interest are represented using a note block such
as this.

This guide is intended
for programmers porting Berkeley DB to a new platform. It
assumes that these programmers possess:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Familiarity with standard ANSI C and POSIX C 1003.1 and 1003.2 library and system
calls.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Working knowledge of the target platform as well as the development tools (for example, compilers, linkers, and debuggers) available on that platform.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
