editmap(1M) System Administration Commands editmap(1M)NAMEeditmap - query and edit single records in database maps for sendmail
SYNOPSISeditmap-C file [-N] [-f] [-q | -u | -x] maptype mapname key
["value"...]
DESCRIPTION
The editmap command queries or edits one record in a database 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 configuration 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 success or
EX_IOERR on failure.
-x Delete the specific key from the map. Exit with 0 on
success or EX_IOERR on failure.
