dbCreate creates the necessary files or directory for the
database. If those files already exist nothing is done.
dbInit takes a database name and returns an object
inheriting from class "filehash".
The type argument specifies the format in which the database
should be stored on the disk. If not specified, the default
type will be used (as specified by filehashOption).
See filehash-class more information and examples and
filehashOption for setting the default database type.
