System Administration Commands                        editmap(1M)



NAME
     editmap - query and edit single records in database maps for
     sendmail

SYNOPSIS
     editmap -C file [-N] [-f] [-q | -u | -x] maptype mapname key
          ["value"]...


DESCRIPTION
     The editmap command queries or edits one record in  a  data-
     base  maps  used  by  the keyed map lookups in sendmail(1M).
     Arguments are passed on the command  line  and  output  (for
     queries) is directed to standard output.


     Depending on how it is compiled, editmap handles up to three
     different  database  formats,  selected  using  the  maptype
     parameter. See OPERANDS.


      If the TrustedUser option is set in the sendmail configura-
     tion  file  and  editmap  is  invoked as root, the generated
     files are owned by the specified TrustedUser.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -C file    Use the  specified  sendmail  configuration  file
                (file) to look up the TrustedUser option.


     -f         Disable the folding of all upper case letters  in
                the  key  to lower case. Normally, all upper case
                letters in the key are folded to upper case. This
                is  intended  to  mesh  with the -f flag in the K
                line  in sendmail.cf. The  value  is  never  case
                folded.


     -N          Include the null byte that terminates strings in
                the map (for alias maps).


     -q         Query the map for the specified  key.  If  found,
                print  value  to standard output and exit with 0.
                If not found  then  print  an  error  message  to
                stdout and exit with EX_UNAVAILABLE.


     -u         Update the record for key with value or inserts a
                new  record if one doesn't exist. Exits with 0 on
