| 39 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 40 | .B Makemap |
|---|
| 41 | creates the database maps used by the keyed map lookups in |
|---|
| 42 | sendmail(8). |
|---|
| 43 | It reads input from the standard input |
|---|
| 44 | and outputs them to the indicated |
|---|
| 45 | .I mapname. |
|---|
| 46 | .PP |
|---|
| 47 | Depending on how it is compiled, |
|---|
| 48 | .B makemap |
|---|
| 49 | handles up to three different database formats, |
|---|
| 50 | selected using the |
|---|
| 51 | .I maptype |
|---|
| 52 | parameter. |
|---|
| 53 | They may be |
|---|
| 54 | .TP |
|---|
| 55 | dbm |
|---|
| 56 | DBM format maps. |
|---|
| 57 | This requires the |
|---|
| 58 | ndbm(3) |
|---|
| 59 | library. |
|---|
| 60 | .TP |
|---|
| 61 | btree |
|---|
| 62 | B-Tree format maps. |
|---|
| 63 | This requires the new Berkeley DB |
|---|
| 64 | library. |
|---|
| 65 | .TP |
|---|
| 66 | hash |
|---|
| 67 | Hash format maps. |
|---|
| 68 | This also requires the Berkeley DB |
|---|
| 69 | library. |
|---|
| 70 | .PP |
|---|
| 71 | In all cases, |
|---|
| 72 | .B makemap |
|---|
| 73 | reads lines from the standard input consisting of two |
|---|
| 74 | words separated by white space. |
|---|
| 75 | The first is the database key, |
|---|
| 76 | the second is the value. |
|---|
| 77 | The value may contain |
|---|
| 78 | ``%\fIn\fP'' |
|---|
| 79 | strings to indicate parameter substitution. |
|---|
| 80 | Literal percents should be doubled |
|---|
| 81 | (``%%''). |
|---|
| 82 | Blank lines and lines beginning with ``#'' are ignored. |
|---|
| 83 | .PP |
|---|
| 84 | Notice: do |
|---|
| 85 | .B not |
|---|
| 86 | use |
|---|
| 87 | .B makemap |
|---|
| 88 | to create the aliases data base, but |
|---|
| 89 | .B newaliases |
|---|
| 90 | which puts a special token into the data base that is required by |
|---|
| 91 | .B sendmail. |
|---|
| 92 | .PP |
|---|
| 93 | If the |
|---|
| 94 | .I TrustedUser |
|---|
| 95 | option is set in the sendmail configuration file and |
|---|
| 96 | .B makemap |
|---|
| 97 | is invoked as root, the generated files will be owned by |
|---|
| 98 | the specified |
|---|
| 99 | .IR TrustedUser. |
|---|
| 100 | .SS Flags |
|---|
| 101 | .TP |
|---|
| 102 | .B \-C |
|---|
| 103 | Use the specified |
|---|
| 104 | .B sendmail |
|---|
| 105 | configuration file for looking up the TrustedUser option. |
|---|
| 106 | .TP |
|---|
| 107 | .B \-N |
|---|
| 108 | Include the null byte that terminates strings |
|---|
| 109 | in the map. |
|---|
| 110 | This must match the \-N flag in the sendmail.cf |
|---|
| 111 | ``K'' line. |
|---|
| 112 | .TP |
|---|
| 113 | .B \-c |
|---|
| 114 | Use the specified hash and B-Tree cache size. |
|---|
| 115 | .TP |
|---|
| 116 | .B \-d |
|---|
| 117 | Allow duplicate keys in the map. |
|---|
| 118 | This is only allowed on B-Tree format maps. |
|---|
| 119 | If two identical keys are read, |
|---|
| 120 | they will both be inserted into the map. |
|---|
| 121 | .TP |
|---|
| 122 | .B \-e |
|---|
| 123 | Allow empty value (right hand side). |
|---|
| 124 | .TP |
|---|
| 125 | .B \-f |
|---|
| 126 | Normally all upper case letters in the key |
|---|
| 127 | are folded to lower case. |
|---|
| 128 | This flag disables that behaviour. |
|---|
| 129 | This is intended to mesh with the |
|---|
| 130 | \-f flag in the |
|---|
| 131 | .B K |
|---|
| 132 | line in sendmail.cf. |
|---|
| 133 | The value is never case folded. |
|---|
| 134 | .TP |
|---|
| 135 | .B \-l |
|---|
| 136 | List supported map types. |
|---|
| 137 | .TP |
|---|
| 138 | .B \-o |
|---|
| 139 | Append to an old file. |
|---|
| 140 | This allows you to augment an existing file. |
|---|
| 141 | .TP |
|---|
| 142 | .B \-r |
|---|
| 143 | Allow replacement of existing keys. |
|---|
| 144 | Normally |
|---|
| 145 | .B makemap |
|---|
| 146 | complains if you repeat a key, |
|---|
| 147 | and does not do the insert. |
|---|
| 148 | .TP |
|---|
| 149 | .B \-s |
|---|
| 150 | Ignore safety checks on maps being created. |
|---|
| 151 | This includes checking for hard or symbolic |
|---|
| 152 | links in world writable directories. |
|---|
| 153 | .TP |
|---|
| 154 | .B \-t |
|---|
| 155 | Use the specified delimiter instead of white space. |
|---|
| 156 | .TP |
|---|
| 157 | .B \-u |
|---|
| 158 | dump (unmap) the content of the database to standard output. |
|---|
| 159 | .TP |
|---|
| 160 | .B \-v |
|---|
| 161 | Verbosely print what it is doing. |
