EDITMAP(8)		 BSD System Manager's Manual		    EDITMAP(8)

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

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

DESCRIPTION
     editmap queries or edits one record in database maps used by the keyed
     map lookups in sendmail(8). 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. They may be

     dbm	 DBM format maps. This requires the ndbm(3) library.

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

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

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

  Flags

     -C file	 Use the specified sendmail(8) configuration file for looking
		 up the TrustedUser option.

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

     -f		 Normally all upper case letters in the key are folded to
		 lower case. This flag disables that behaviour. This is in-
		 tended to mesh with the -f flag in the "K" line in
		 sendmail.cf. The value is never case folded.

     -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		 Updates 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		 Deletes the specific key from the map. Exits with 0 on suc-
		 cess or EX_IOERR on failure.
