MAKEDBM(8)		OpenBSD System Manager's Manual		    MAKEDBM(8)

NAME
     makedbm - create a YP database

SYNOPSIS
     makedbm [-blsUu] [-d yp_domain_name] [-i yp_input_file]
	     [-m yp_master_name] [-o yp_output_file] infile outfile

DESCRIPTION
     makedbm is the utility in YP that creates the database file containing
     the YP map.  The database format is a slightly modified version of ndbm.

     The options are as follows:

     -b	     Interdomain.  Include an entry in the database informing a YP
	     server to use DNS to get information about unknown hosts.	This
	     option will only have effect on the two maps hosts.byname and
	     hosts.byaddr.

     -d yp_domain_name
	     Include an entry in the map with the key YP_DOMAIN_NAME and the
	     argument as value.

     -i yp_input_file
	     Include an entry in the map with the key YP_INPUT_FILE and the
	     argument as value.

     -l	     Lowercase.	 Convert all keys to lower case before adding them to
	     the YP database.

     -m yp_master_name
	     Include an entry in the map with the key YP_MASTER_NAME and the
	     argument as value.

     -o yp_output_file
	     Include an entry in the map with the key YP_OUTPUT_FILE and the
	     argument as value.

     -s	     Secure map.  Include an entry in the database informing ypxfr(8)
	     and ypserv(8) that the YP map is going to be handled as secure.

     -U	     Same as -u but also try db(3) hash format.

     -u	     Dump a database to standard output.
