What's this?

open(*args) public

If called without a block, this is the same as SDBM.new.

If a block is given, the new database will be passed to the block and will be safely closed after the block has executed.

Example:

require 'sdbm'

SDBM.open('my_database') do |db|
  db['hello'] = 'world'
end

        return Qnil;

        return rb_ensure(rb_yield, obj, fsdbm_close, obj);
