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  different  database
18       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       cdb    CDB  (Constant DataBase) format maps.  This requires the tinycdb
27              library.
28
29       If the TrustedUser option is set in the sendmail configuration file and
30       editmap  is  invoked  as root, the generated files will be owned by the
31       specified TrustedUser.
32
33   Flags
34       -C     Use the specified sendmail configuration file for looking up the
35              TrustedUser option.
36
37       -N     Include  the  null  byte that terminates strings in the map (for
38              alias maps).
39
40       -f     Normally all upper case letters in the key are folded  to  lower
41              case.   This  flag disables that behaviour.  This is intended to
42              mesh with the -f flag in the K line in sendmail.cf.   The  value
43              is never case folded.
44
45       -q     Query  the  map for the specified key.  If found, print value to
46              standard output and exit with 0.  If not found then print an er‐
47              ror message to stdout and exit with EX_UNAVAILABLE.
48
49       -u     Update  the record for key with value or inserts a new record if
50              one doesn't exist.  Exits with 0 on success or EX_IOERR on fail‐
51              ure.
52
53       -x     Deletes  the specific key from the map.  Exits with 0 on success
54              or EX_IOERR on failure.
