+CDB functions for PHP
+=====================
+
+[CDB][], short for "constant database", refers to a very fast and highly
+reliable database system which uses a simple file with key value pairs. This
+library wraps the CDB functionality exposed in PHP via the `dba_*` functions.
+In cases where `dba_*` functions are not present or are not compiled with CDB
+support, a pure-PHP implementation is provided for falling back.
+
+Additional documentation about the library can be found on
+[MediaWiki.org](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CDB).
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+    // Reading a CDB file
+    $cdb = \Cdb\Reader::open( 'db.cdb' );
+    $foo = $cdb->get( 'somekey' );
+
+    // Writing to a CDB file
+    $cdb = \Cdb\Writer::open( 'anotherdb.cdb' );
+    $cdb->set( 'somekey', $foo );
+
+
+Running tests
+-------------
+
+    composer install --prefer-dist
+    composer test
+
+
+History
+-------
