System Administration Commands makedbm(1M)
NAME
makedbm - make a dbm file, or get a text file from a dbm
file
SYNOPSIS
makedbm [-b] [-l] [-s] [-E] [-i yp_input_file] [-
o yp_output_name] [-d yp_domain_name] [-m yp_master_name]
[-S delimiter] [-D number_of_delimiters] infile outfile
makedbm [-u dbmfilename]
DESCRIPTION
The makedbm utility takes the infile and converts it to a
pair of files in ndbm format (see ndbm(3C)), namely
outfile.pag and outfile.dir. Each line of the input file is
converted to a single dbm record. All characters up to the
first TAB or SPACE form the key, and the rest of the line is
the data. If a line ends with `\' (backslash), the data for
that record is continued on to the next line. makedbm does
not treat `#' (pound-sign) as a special character.
Because makedbm is mainly used in generating dbm files for
the NIS name service, it generates a special entry with the
key yp_last_modified, which is the date of infile (or the
current time, if infile is `-'). The entries that have keys
with the prefix yp_ are interpreted by NIS server utilities.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-b Insert the YP_INTERDOMAIN into the
output. This key causes ypserv(1M)
to use DNS for host name and
address lookups for hosts not found
in the maps.
-d yp_domain_name Create a special entry with the key
yp_domain_name.
-D number_of delimiters Specify number_of_delimiters to skip
before forming the key.
-E Delimiters are escaped.

System Administration Commands makedbm(1M)
-i yp_input_file Create a special entry with the key
yp_input_file.
-l Lower case. Convert the keys of the
given map to lower case, so that,
for example, host name matches
succeed independent of upper or
lower case distinctions.
-m yp_master_name Create a special entry with the key
yp_master_name. If no master host
name is specified, yp_master_name is
set to the local host name.
-o yp_output_name Create a special entry with the key
yp_output_name.
-s Secure map. Accept connections from
secure NIS networks only.
-S delimiter Specify the delimiter to use instead
of the default delimiter for forming
the key.
-u dbmfilename Undo a dbm file. Prints out the
file in text format, one entry per
line, with a single space separating
keys from values.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
infile Input file for makedbm. If infile is `-'
(dash), the standard input is read.
