NAME
      makemap - create database maps for sendmail
 


SYNOPSIS
      makemap [ -N ]  [ -d ]  [ -f ]  [ -o ]  [ -r ]  [ -s ]  [ -v
      ]   [  -C  file  ]  [ -c cachesize ]  [ -e ]  [ -l ]  [ -u ]
      mantype  mapname
 


DESCRIPTION
      makemap creates the database maps  used  by  the  keyed  map
      lookups  in  sendmail(1M).  makemap  reads from the standard
      input and outputs to the specified mapname.
 
      In all cases, makemap reads lines from  the  standard  input
      consisting  of two words separated by white space. The first
      is the database key, the second is the value. The value  may
      contain  %n  strings  to  indicated  parameter substitution.
      Literal percents should be doubled  (%%).  Blank  lines  and
      lines beginning with  # are ignored.
 
      makemap handles three different database  formats.  Database
      format   is   selected  using  the  maptype  parameter.  See
      OPERANDS.
 


OPTIONS
      The following options are supported:
 
      -C    Use the  specified  sendmail  configuration  file  for
            looking up the TrustedUser option.
 
      -N    Include the null byte that terminates strings  in  the
            map.  This  must  match the  -N flag in the  K line in
            sendmail.cf
 
      -c    Use the specified hash and B-Tree cache size.
 
      -d    Allow duplicate keys in the map. This is only  allowed
            on B-Tree format maps. If two identical keys are read,
            they will both be inserted into the map.
 
      -e    Allow empty value (right hand side).
 
      -f    Normally all upper case letters in the key are  folded
            to  lower case. This flag disables that behavior. This
            is intended to mesh with the -f flag in the K line  in
            sendmail.cf. The value is never case folded.
 
      -l    List supported map types.
 
      -o    Append to an old file. This allows you to  augment  an
            existing file.

 Maintenance Commands                                  makemap(1M)
 
 
 
      -r    Allow replacement of existing keys.  Normally  makemap
            complains  if  you  repeat  a key, and does not do the
            insert.
 
      -s    Ignore safety  checks  on  maps  being  created.  This
            includes  checking for hard or symbolic links in world
            writable directories.
 
      -u    Dump (unmap) the content of the database  to  standard
            output.
 
      -v    Verbosely print what it is doing.
