-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B 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
-.I mapname.
-.PP
-Depending on how it is compiled,
-.B makemap
-handles up to three different database formats,
-selected using the
-.I maptype
-parameter.
-They may be
-.TP
-dbm
-DBM format maps.
-This requires the
-ndbm(3)
-library.
-.TP
-btree
-B-Tree format maps.
-This requires the new Berkeley DB
-library.
-.TP
-hash
-Hash format maps.
-This also requires the Berkeley DB
-library.
-.PP
-In all cases,
-.B 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
-``%\fIn\fP''
-strings to indicate parameter substitution.
-Literal percents should be doubled
-(``%%'').
-Blank lines and lines beginning with ``#'' are ignored.
-.PP
-Notice: do
-.B not
-use
-.B makemap
-to create the aliases data base, but
-.B newaliases
-which puts a special token into the data base that is required by
-.B sendmail.
-.PP
-If the
-.I TrustedUser
-option is set in the sendmail configuration file and
-.B makemap
-is invoked as root, the generated files will be owned by
-the specified
-.IR TrustedUser.
-.SS Flags
-.TP
-.B \-C
-Use the specified
-.B sendmail
-configuration file for looking up the TrustedUser option.
-.TP
-.B \-N
-Include the null byte that terminates strings
-in the map.
-This must match the \-N flag in the sendmail.cf
-``K'' line.
-.TP
-.B \-c
-Use the specified hash and B-Tree cache size.
-.TP
-.B \-D
-Use to specify the character to use to indicate a comment (which is ignored)
-instead of the default of '#'.
-.TP
-.B \-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.
-.TP
-.B \-e
-Allow empty value (right hand side).
-.TP
-.B \-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
-.B K
-line in sendmail.cf.
-The value is never case folded.
-.TP
-.B \-l
-List supported map types.
-.TP
-.B \-o
-Append to an old file.
-This allows you to augment an existing file.
-.TP
-.B \-r
-Allow replacement of existing keys.
-Normally
-.B makemap
-complains if you repeat a key,
-and does not do the insert.
-.TP
-.B \-s
-Ignore safety checks on maps being created.
-This includes checking for hard or symbolic
-links in world writable directories.
-.TP
-.B \-t
-Use the specified delimiter instead of white space.
-.TP
-.B \-u
-dump (unmap) the content of the database to standard output.
-.TP
-.B \-v
-Verbosely print what it is doing.
-.SH SEE ALSO
-sendmail(8), newaliases(1)
-.SH HISTORY
-The
-.B makemap
-command appeared in
-4.4BSD.
