It reads input from the standard input and outputs them + to the indicated _m_a_p_n_a_m_e_. + + Depending on how it is compiled, mmaakkeemmaapp handles up to three different + database formats, selected using the _m_a_p_t_y_p_e parameter. They may be + + dbm DBM format maps. This requires the ndbm(3) library. + + 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, mmaakkeemmaapp 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 nnoott use mmaakkeemmaapp to create the aliases data base, but + nneewwaalliiaasseess which puts a special token into the data base that is + required by sseennddmmaaiill.. + + If the _T_r_u_s_t_e_d_U_s_e_r option is set in the sendmail configuration file and + mmaakkeemmaapp is invoked as root, the generated files will be owned by the + specified _T_r_u_s_t_e_d_U_s_e_r_. + + FFllaaggss + --CC Use the specified sseennddmmaaiill configuration file for looking up the + TrustedUser option. + + --NN Include the null byte that terminates strings in the map.
