DESCRIPTION
      aliasadm makes changes to the alias map.
 
      The alias map is an NIS+ table object with four columns:
 
      alias The name of the alias as a null terminated string.
 
      expansion
            The value of the alias as it would appear in  a  send-
            mail /etc/aliases file.
 
      options
            A list of options applicable to this alias.  The  only
            option   currently  supported  is   CANON.  With  this
            option, if the user has  requested  an  inverse  alias
            lookup,  and  there  is  more than one alias with this
            expansion, this alias is given preference.
 
      comments
            An arbitrary string  containing  comments  about  this
            alias.  The  sendmail(1M)  command  reads  this map in
            addition  to  the  NIS  aliases  map  and  the   local
            /etc/aliases database.
 


OPTIONS
      -a    Add an alias.
 
      -c    Change an alias.
 
      -d    Delete an alias.
