My guess, without actually knowing the details:

ext/dbm seem to be an interface to the dbm/ndbm compatible API that
is part of Berkeley DB (and labeled "Historic Interface" in the
Berkeley DB documentation).

The file format of Berkeley DB is different from dbm/sdbm (with its
.dir/.pag pair of files). And I think gdbm also has its own file
format, so we have three different file formats. And all tree have
their own dbm-like API.

I hope someone can correct me, if any of this is incorrect ...
