editmap(1M)                                               System Administration Commands                                               editmap(1M)

NAME

       editmap - query and edit single records in database maps for sendmail

SYNOPSIS

       editmap -C file [-N] [-f] [-q | -u | -x]  maptype mapname key ["value"...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  editmap  command queries or edits one record in a database maps used by the keyed map lookups in sendmail(1M). Arguments are passed on
       the command line and output (for queries) is directed to standard output.

       Depending on how it is compiled, editmap handles up to three different database formats, selected using the maptype  parameter.  See  OPER-
       ANDS.

        If  the  TrustedUser option is set in the sendmail configuration file and editmap is invoked as root, the generated files are owned by the
       specified TrustedUser.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -C file         Use the specified sendmail configuration file (file) to look up the TrustedUser option.

       -f              Disable the folding of all upper case letters in the key to lower case. Normally, all upper case letters  in  the  key  are
                       folded  to  upper  case.  This  is intended to mesh with the -f flag in the K line  in sendmail.cf. The value is never case
                       folded.

       -N               Include the null byte that terminates strings in the map (for alias maps).

       -q              Query the map for the specified key. If found, print value to standard output and exit with 0. If not found then  print  an
                       error message to stdout and exit with EX_UNAVAILABLE.

       -u              Update  the  record for key with value or inserts a new record if one doesn't exist. Exits with 0 on success or EX_IOERR on
                       failure.

       -x               Delete the specific key from the map. Exit with 0 on success or EX_IOERR on failure.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       key             The left hand side of a record.

                       Each record is of the form:

                       key value

                       key and value are separated by white space.

       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.

       value           The right hand side of a record.

                       Each record is of the form:
