NAME

       makemap - create database maps for sendmail

SYNOPSIS

       makemap [-N] [-d] [-f] [-o] [-r] [-s] [-v] [-C file]
	    [-c cachesize] [-D commentchar] [-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 whitespace. 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.

       -D commentchar	 Use the specified character to indicate a comment (which is ignored) instead of the default of '#'.

       -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  directo-
			 ries.

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

       -u		 Dump  (unmap) the content of the database to standard output. Note that, if the -t option is also provided, the specified
			 delimiter is used when the content is dumped instead of whitespace.

       -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.

NAME

       makemap - create database maps for sendmail

SYNOPSIS

       makemap [-C file] [-N] [-c cachesize] [-d] [-D commentchar] [-e] [-f] [-l] [-o] [-r] [-s] [-t delim] [-u] [-v] maptype mapnam

DESCRIPTION

       Makemap creates the database maps used by the keyed map lookups in sendmail(8).	It reads input from the standard input and outputs them to
       the indicated mapname.

       makemap handles two different database formats, selected using the maptype parameter.  They may be

       btree  B-Tree format maps.  This requires the new Berkeley DB library.

       hash   Hash format maps.  This also requires the Berkeley DB library.

       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 indicate parameter substitution.	Literal percents should be doubled
       (``%%'').  Blank lines and lines beginning with ``#'' are ignored.

       Notice: do not use makemap to create the aliases data base, but newaliases which puts a special token into the data base that  is  required
       by sendmail.

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

   Flags
       -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 sendmail.cf ``K'' line.

       -c     Use the specified hash and B-Tree cache size.

       -D     Use to specify the character to use to indicate a comment (which is ignored) instead of the default of '#'.

       -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 behaviour.  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.

       -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     Use the specified delimiter instead of white space (also for dumping a map).

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

       -v     Verbosely print what it is doing.
