+Database is a regular Lua script that returns a table.
+
+Table has a single named field `timestamp' containing the time_t the
+DB was last saved. It's not used in the mod and is only meant for
+external use (I don't find filesystem timestamps too reliable).
+
+Next is a simple array (number indices) of entries.
+
+Each entry contains following fields:
+
+[1] = {
+ -- Names/IPs associated with this entry
+ names = {
+ ["foo"] = true,
+ ["bar"] = true,
+ ["123.45.67.89"] = true,
+ },
+ banned = true, -- Whether this user is banned
+ -- Other fields do not apply if false
+ time = 12341234, -- Time of last ban (*1)
+ expires = 43214321 -- Time at which ban expires (*2)
+ -- If nil, permanent ban
+ reason = "asdf", -- Reason for ban
+ source = "qwerty", -- Source of ban (*2)
+ record = {
+ [1] = {
+ source = "asdf",
+ reason = "qwerty",
+ time = 12341234,
+ expires = 43214321,
+ },
+ [1] = {
+ source = "asdf",
+ reason = "Unbanned", -- When unbanned
+ time = 12341234,
+ },
+ },
+}
+
+Notes:
+(*1) All times are expressed in whatever unit `os.time()' uses
+ (`time_t' on most (all?) systems).
+(*2) Mods using the xban API are advised to use the "modname:source"
+ format for `source' (for example: "anticheat:main").
