editmap(1M) System Administration Commands editmap(1M)NAMEeditmap - query and edit single records in database maps for sendmail
SYNOPSISeditmap-C file [-N] [-f] [-q | -u | -x] maptype mapname key
["value"]...
DESCRIPTION
The editmap command queries or edits one record in a database maps used
by the keyed map lookups in sendmail(1M). 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. See OPERANDS.
If the TrustedUser option is set in the sendmail configuration file
and editmap is invoked as root, the generated files are owned by the
specified TrustedUser.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-C file Use the specified sendmail configuration file (file) to look
up the TrustedUser option.
-f Disable the folding of all upper case letters in the key to
lower case. Normally, all upper case letters in the key are
folded to upper case. This is intended to mesh with the -f
flag in the K line in sendmail.cf. The value is never case
folded.
-N Include the null byte that terminates strings in the map
(for alias maps).
-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 Update 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 Delete the specific key from the map. Exit with 0 on suc‐
cess or EX_IOERR on failure.
