-<h1>ldb</h1>
-
-ldb is a LDAP-like embedded database. It is not at all
-<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol">LDAP</a>
-standards compliant, so if you want a standards compliant database then please
-see the excellent <a href="http://www.openldap.org/">OpenLDAP</a>
-project.<p>
-
-What ldb does is provide a fast database with an LDAP-like API
-designed to be used within an application. In some ways it can be seen
-as a intermediate solution between key-value pair databases and a real
-LDAP database.<p>
-
-ldb is the database engine used in Samba4.
-
-<h2>Features</h2>
-
-The main features that separate ldb from other solutions are:
-
-<ul>
-<li>Safe multi-reader, multi-writer, using byte range locking
-<li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDAP_Application_Program_Interface">LDAP-like API</a>
-<li>fast operation
-<li>choice of local tdb or remote LDAP backends
-<li>integration with <a href="http://talloc.samba.org">talloc</a>
-<li>schema-less operation, for trivial setup
-<li>modules for extensions (such as schema support)
-<li>easy setup of indexes and attribute properties
-<li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDAP_Data_Interchange_Format">LDIF</a> for import/export
-<li>ldbedit tool for database (via LDIF) editing (reminiscent of 'vipw')
-</ul>
-
-<h2>Documentation</h2>
-
-Currently ldb is completely lacking in programmer or user
-documentation. This is your opportunity to make a contribution! Start
-with the public functions declared in <a
-href="http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/ldb/include/ldb.h">ldb.h</a>
-and the example code in the <a
-href="http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/ldb/tools/">tools
-directory</a>. Documentation in the same docbook format used by Samba
-would be preferred.
-
-<h2>Discussion and bug reports</h2>
-
-ldb does not currently have its own mailing list or bug tracking
-system. For now, please use the <a
-href="https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba-technical">samba-technical</a>
-mailing list or the <a href="https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/ldb">ldb</a>
-mailing list, and the <a href="http://bugzilla.samba.org/">Samba bugzilla</a> bug tracking system.
-
-<h2>Download</h2>
-
-You can download the latest release either via rsync or thtough git.<br>
-<br>
-To fetch via git see the following guide:<br>
-<a href="http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Using_Git_for_Samba_Development">Using Git for Samba Development</a><br>
-Once you have cloned the tree switch to the v4-0-test branch and cd into the source/lib/ldb directory.<br>
-<br>
-To fetch via rsync use these commands:
-
-<pre>
- rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/ldb .
- rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/tdb .
- rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/talloc .
- rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/libreplace .
