DBM_Filter::null(3)	Perl Programmers Reference Guide     DBM_Filter::null(3)

NAME
     DBM_Filter::null - filter for DBM_Filter

SYNOPSIS
	 use SDBM_File; # or DB_File, GDBM_File, NDBM_File, or ODBM_File
	 use DBM_Filter ;

	 $db = tie %hash, ...
	 $db->Filter_Push('null');

DESCRIPTION
     This filter ensures that all data written to the DBM file is null termi-
     nated. This is useful when you have a perl script that needs to interoper-
     ate with a DBM file that a C program also uses. A fairly common issue is
     for the C application to include the terminating null in a string when it
     writes to the DBM file. This filter will ensure that all data written to
     the DBM file can be read by the C application.
