If I understand you well, you want a list of keys, you are only interested
wheras some item matches a key in the list or not, a boolean answer.
Well that's easy, just ignore completely the data. The format of the
(key,data) pair is explained at http://cr.yp.to/cdb.html.

This is an example:

# Format needed for cdbmake input:
#
# +7,0:alucard->
# +12,0:alucard.imap->
# +19,0:carbone.Mac support->
# +39,0:carbone.Mac support.Erweitern Mac guide->
#
# More information on CDB including format in cdb-0.75 package.
# One must be careful that the end of record character is
# a line-feed and not a \n.

The

alucard
alucard.imap
...

being the keys.
