DESCRIPTION

14       The editmap command queries or edits one record in a database maps used
15       by the keyed map lookups in sendmail(1M). Arguments are passed  on  the
16       command line and output (for queries) is directed to standard output.
17
18
19       Depending  on how it is compiled, editmap handles up to three different
20       database formats, selected using the maptype parameter. See OPERANDS.
21
22
23        If the TrustedUser option is set in the  sendmail  configuration  file
24       and  editmap  is  invoked as root, the generated files are owned by the
25       specified TrustedUser.
26

OPTIONS

28       The following options are supported:
29
30       -C file    Use the specified sendmail configuration file (file) to look
31                  up the TrustedUser option.
32
33
34       -f         Disable  the folding of all upper case letters in the key to
35                  lower case. Normally, all upper case letters in the key  are
36                  folded  to  upper case. This is intended to mesh with the -f
37                  flag in the K line  in sendmail.cf. The value is never  case
38                  folded.
39
40
41       -N          Include  the  null  byte that terminates strings in the map
42                  (for alias maps).
43
44
45       -q         Query the map for the specified key. If found,  print  value
46                  to  standard output and exit with 0. If not found then print
47                  an error message to stdout and exit with EX_UNAVAILABLE.
48
49
50       -u         Update the record for key with value or inserts a new record
51                  if one doesn't exist. Exits with 0 on success or EX_IOERR on
52                  failure.
53
54
55       -x          Delete the specific key from the map. Exit with 0  on  suc‐
56                  cess or EX_IOERR on failure.
