DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN

EEddiittmmaapp queries or edits one record in database maps used by the keyed

map lookups in sendmail(8). Arguments are passed on the command line

and output (for queries) is directed to standard output.

Depending on how it is compiled, eeddiittmmaapp handles up to three different

database formats, selected using the _m_a_p_t_y_p_e parameter. They may be

dbm DBM format maps. This requires the ndbm(3) library.

btree B-Tree format maps. This requires the new Berkeley DB library.

hash Hash format maps. This also requires the Berkeley DB library.

If the _T_r_u_s_t_e_d_U_s_e_r option is set in the sendmail configuration file and

eeddiittmmaapp is invoked as root, the generated files will be owned by the

specified _T_r_u_s_t_e_d_U_s_e_r_.

FFllaaggss

--CC Use the specified sseennddmmaaiill configuration file for looking up the

TrustedUser option.

--NN Include the null byte that terminates strings in the map (for

alias maps).

--ff Normally all upper case letters in the key are folded to lower

case. This flag disables that behaviour. This is intended to

mesh with the -f flag in the KK line in sendmail.cf. The value

is never case folded.

--qq 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.

--uu Update the record for _k_e_y with _v_a_l_u_e or inserts a new record if

one doesn't exist. Exits with 0 on success or EX_IOERR on fail-

ure.

--xx Deletes the specific key from the map. Exits with 0 on success

or EX_IOERR on failure.
