makemap(1M)

NAME

     makemap - create database maps for sendmail

SYNOPSIS

     makemap [-N] [-d] [-f] [-o] [-r] [-s]  [-v]  [-C  file]  [-c
     cachesize] [-e] [-l] [-t delim] [-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 cachesize
           Use  the  specified  hash  and   B-Tree   cache   size
           (cachesize).

     -C file
           Use the specified sendmail configuration  file  (file)
           for looking up the TrustedUser option.

     -d    Allow duplicate keys in the map. This is only  allowed
           on B-Tree format maps. If two identical keys are read,
           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.

     -N    Include the null byte that terminates strings  in  the
           map.  This  must  match the  -N flag in the  K line in
           sendmail.cf

     -o    Append to an old file. This allows you to  augment  an
           existing file.

     -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.

     -t delim
           Use the specified delimiter (delim) instead  of  white
           space.

     -u    Dump (unmap) the content of the database  to  standard
           output.

     -v    Verbosely print what it is doing.

OPERANDS

     The following operands are supported:

     mapname
           File name of the database map being created.

     maptype
           Specifies the database format. The  following  maptype
           parameters are available:

           dbm   Specifies DBM format maps.

           btree Specifies B-Tree format maps.

           hash  Specifies hash format maps.
