EDITMAP(8) OpenBSD System Manager's Manual EDITMAP(8)NAMEeditmap - query and edit records in database maps for sendmail
SYNOPSISeditmap [-C file] [-N] [-f] [-q | -u | -x] maptype mapname key
[``value ...'']
DESCRIPTIONeditmap 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
library.
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
intended 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
success or EX_IOERR on failure.
