makemap
makemap [options] type name

System administration command. Create database maps for use by sendmail in keyed map lookups. makemap will read from standard input and create a database file of type type with filename name.db. If the TrustedUser option is set in /etc/sendmail.cf and makemap is invoked as root, the ouput file will be owned by TrustedUser.

Input should be formatted as:

key value

Comment lines with #. Indicate parameter substitution with %n. Specify a literal % character by entering it twice: %%. The type may be btree or hash.

Options
-c size
Specify hash or B-Tree cache size.

-C file
Look up TrustedUser in the specified sendmail configuration file.

-d
Allow duplicate entries. Valid only with btree type maps.

-D x
Treat x as the comment marker instead of #.

-e
Allow empty value data fields.

-f
Suppress conversion of uppercase to lowercase.

-l
List supported map types.

-N
Append the zero-byte string terminator specified in sendmail's configuration file to mapped entries.

-o
Append to existing file instead of replacing it.

-r
If some keys already exist, replace them. (By default, makemap will exit when encountering a duplicated key.)

-s
Ignore safety checks.

-t delimiter
Use delimiter instead of whitespace.

-u
Undo a map: print out the specified database file, one entry per line.

-v
Verbose mode.
