go-gdbm's Issues

null terminated strings???

I hope it is ok to ask here. I am using your go-gdbm to update an existing db, however I have some issues with different formatting. The "test21" key was added via go. The entries starting with 1.1.1.1 are already there.
I need some help understanding why this is, and if it is even possible to generate such keys and values. I can't seem to add this null terminated(?) string.

[@ test]# gdbmtool /var/lib/test/test.db list
test21 value
1.1.1.1-xxxxxxxxxxxx-yyyyyyyyyyyyyy\000 \37777777747YLb\000\000\000\000
1.1.1.1-xxxxxxxxxxxx-zzzzzzzzzzzzzz\000 \37777777774ZLb\000\000\000\000

Allow to range over type *gdbm.Database

Hey there,
To be able to collect keys/values, some logic like

db, _ := gdbm.Open('"derp.db","c")

for k,v := range db {
   println(k)
   println(v)
}

Take care,
