[OpenSIPS-Users] [NEW] Key-Value Interface

[Vlad Paiu]

Hello,

Aside from the script documentation located at [1], we also added a 
documentation on how to build modules that want to use Key-Value type 
back-ends, on top of the newly added Interface.

Currently,on the trunk branch, the cachedb/example/ folder holds an 
example module that uses the Interface to transparently operate on a 
Key-Value type back-end.
