Changes to `makemap`

The makemap command creates keyed database files for sendmail. The following table describes new makemap options. When you declare options, use the following syntax.

makemap options class filename

When you use the preceding syntax, remember the following.

options are preceded by a dash (for example, -dN).
class refers to the type of database (for example, btree, dbm, or hash).
filename refers to the full path (or relative name) for the database file.

Table 27–24 New makemap Options


Option	Description
`-C`	Uses the specified `sendmail` configuration file for finding the `TrustedUser` option
`-c`	Uses the specified `hash` and `btree` cache size
`-e`	Allows an empty value from the right-hand side (RHS)
`-l`	Lists map types that are supported
`-t`	Specifies a different delimiter, instead of white space
`-u`	Dumps (unmaps) the contents of the database to standard output

Note –

If makemap is running as root, the ownership of the generated maps is automatically changed to the TrustedUser, as specified in the sendmail configuration file. For more information about the TrustedUser option, refer to Table 27–2.

For more information, refer to the makemap(1M) man page.
