 The last four bytes are a host-ordered record number within the  
 .Sx Index Database .  
 .Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES  
 The time to construct a new database pair grows linearly with the  
 number of keywords in the input files.  
 However, removing or updating entries with  
 .Fl u  
 or  
 .Fl d ,  
 respectively, grows as a multiple of the index length and input size.
