DESCRIPTION

32       aliasadm makes changes to the alias map.
33
34
35       The alias map is an NIS+ table object with four columns:
36
37       alias        The name of the alias as a null terminated string.
38
39
40       expansion    The  value  of  the alias as it would appear in a sendmail
41                    /etc/aliases file.
42
43
44       options      A list of options  applicable  to  this  alias.  The  only
45                    option  currently supported is CANON. With this option, if
46                    the user has requested an inverse alias lookup, and  there
47                    is  more than one alias with this expansion, this alias is
48                    given preference.
49
50
51       comments     An arbitrary string containing comments about this  alias.
52                    The sendmail(1M) command reads this map in addition to the
53                    NIS aliases map and the local /etc/aliases database.
