NAME

6       editmap - query and edit single records in database maps for sendmail
7

SYNOPSIS

9       editmap  [-C  file]  [-N]  [-f] [-q|-u|-x] maptype mapname key [ "value
10       ..." ]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Editmap queries or edits one record in database maps used by the  keyed
14       map  lookups  in sendmail(8).  Arguments are passed on the command line
15       and output (for queries) is directed to standard output.
16
17       Depending on how it is compiled, editmap handles up to three  different
18       database formats, selected using the maptype parameter.  They may be
19
20       dbm    DBM format maps.  This requires the ndbm(3) library.
21
22       btree  B-Tree format maps.  This requires the new Berkeley DB library.
23
24       hash   Hash format maps.  This also requires the Berkeley DB library.
25
26       If the TrustedUser option is set in the sendmail configuration file and
27       editmap is invoked as root, the generated files will be  owned  by  the
28       specified TrustedUser.
29
30   Flags
31       -C     Use the specified sendmail configuration file for looking up the
32              TrustedUser option.
33
34       -N     Include the null byte that terminates strings in  the  map  (for
35              alias maps).
36
37       -f     Normally  all  upper case letters in the key are folded to lower
38              case.  This flag disables that behaviour.  This is  intended  to
39              mesh  with  the -f flag in the K line in sendmail.cf.  The value
40              is never case folded.
41
42       -q     Query the map for the specified key.  If found, print  value  to
43              standard  output  and  exit  with 0.  If not found then print an
44              error message to stdout and exit with EX_UNAVAILABLE.
45
46       -u     Update the record for key with value or inserts a new record  if
47              one doesn't exist.  Exits with 0 on success or EX_IOERR on fail‐
48              ure.
49
50       -x     Deletes the specific key from the map.  Exits with 0 on  success
51              or EX_IOERR on failure.
