Thanks for reporting this bug regarding htdbm enhancements! We appreciate you
bringing up the need for options like colon-in-username, no-overwrite, and
extract-entry.

While we currently don't have these functionalities implemented in htdbm, we
value your feedback. Upvoting this bug report or providing additional details
about your use case will help us gauge user interest and prioritize future
development efforts.

In the meantime, here are some alternative approaches you might consider:

Escape Colons in Usernames: If feasible for your use case, you can escape
colons within usernames before using them with htdbm. This might involve
replacing colons with special characters like backslashes.

Workaround for No-Overwrite: To prevent overwrites, you could create a copy of
the existing database file before making modifications using htdbm. This
ensures you don't accidentally overwrite valuable data.

External Tools for Entry Extraction: Depending on your specific needs, you
might explore external tools or scripts for extracting entries from htdbm
files. These tools might offer functionalities like entry selection based on
criteria.

I hope the following information helps you out. My company Ajmera PVLR
(https://ajmerapvlrbhandup.com/) had reported a similar kind of bug. But later
on, it got resolved.
