editmap (ADMN)

NAME

     editmap - query and edit single records in database maps for
     sendmail

SYNOPSIS

     editmap [-C file] [-N] [-f] [-q|-u|-x] maptype mapname key [
     "value ..." ]

DESCRIPTION

     Editmap queries or edits one record in database maps used by
     the  keyed  map  lookups  in  sendmail(ADMN).  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(NS) 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  configura-
     tion  file  and  editmap  is  invoked as root, the generated
     files will be owned by the specified TrustedUser.

  Flags
     -C   Use the specified sendmail configuration file for look-
          ing 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   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   Deletes the specific key from the map.  Exits with 0 on
          success or EX_IOERR on failure.
