#include <ndbm.h>
int dbm_delete (database, key)

Database function  dbm_delete() deletes the  record with key  from the data
base to which database points.  database must have been opened by a call to
dbm_open().

If all goes well, dbm_delete() returns zero.  It returns -1 if database did
not contain  a record with key,  or if database were  opened into read-only
mode.
