NAME
       mkhosts - generate hashed host table

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/etc/mkhosts [ -v ] hostfile

DESCRIPTION
       Mkhosts	is  used  to  generated	 the  hashed host database used by one
       version of the library routines	gethostbyaddr()	 and  gethostbyname().
       It  is  not used if host name translation is performed by named(8).  If
       the -v option is supplied, each host will be listed  as	it  is	added.
       The file hostfile is usually /etc/hosts, and in any case must be in the
       format of /etc/hosts (see hosts(5)).  Mkhosts  will  generate  database
       files  named  hostfile.pag and hostfile.dir.  The new database is build
       in a set of temporary files and only replaces the real database if  the
       new  one	 is  built  without errors.  Mkhosts will exit with a non-zero
       exit code if any errors are detected.

FILES
       hostfile.pag	   - real database filenames
       hostfile.dir
       hostfile.new.pag	   - temporary database filenames
       hostfile.new.dir
