NAME
     mkalias - a YP map conversion program

SYNOPSIS
     mkalias [-nv] [-E | -e [-du]] input [output]

DESCRIPTION
     mkalias is used to convert a mail.aliases map to a mail.byaddr map.  This
     is an inverse map of user@host (or user!host) back to alias.

     The options are as follows:

     -d	     Assume domain names are OK.  Only useful together with -E or -e.

     -E	     Same as -e, but also check for any MX-record.

     -e	     Check host to verify that it exists.

     -n	     Capitalize name. e.g., mats.o.jansson becomes Mats.O.Jansson.

     -u	     Assume UUCP names are OK.	Only useful together with -E or -e.

     -v	     Verbose mode.

     input   Use this map as input.

     output  Use this map as output.  If the output map isn't given don't
	     create database.  Can be useful together with -E or -e.

BUGS
     mkalias on SunOS 4.1.x seems to have a -s.	 Since I don't know what it is
     supposed to do I haven't implemented it.  But it is accepted by the
     program.
