SERVICES_MKDB(8)	  BSD System Manager's Manual	      SERVICES_MKDB(8)

NAME
     services_mkdb — generate the services databases

SYNOPSIS
     services_mkdb [-qv] [-o database] [-V style] [file]
     services_mkdb -u [file]

DESCRIPTION
     services_mkdb creates a db(3) database for the specified file.  If no
     file is specified, then /etc/services is used.  The database is installed
     into /var/db/services.cdb for CDB format and into /var/db/services.db for
     DB format (see -V).  The file must be in the correct format (see
     services(5)).

     The options are as follows:

     -o database
	     Put the output databases in the named file.

     -q	     Don't warn about duplicate services.  This is the default behav‐
	     ior.

     -u	     Print the services file to stdout, omitting duplicate entries and
	     comments.

     -V	     Create a specific version of the database style.  style can be
	     cdb to request the CDB format (default) or db to request the DB
	     format.  The DB format is useful for compatibility with old stat‐
	     ically linked binaries.

     -v	     Warn about duplicate services.

     The databases are used by the C library services routines (see
     getservent(3)).

     services_mkdb exits zero on success, non-zero on failure.

FILES
     /var/db/services.db       The current services database.
     /var/db/services.db.tmp   A temporary file.
     /etc/services	       The current services file.

SEE ALSO
     db(3), getservent(3), services(5)

BUGS
     Because services_mkdb guarantees not to install a partial destination
     file it must build a temporary file in the same file system and if suc‐
     cessful use rename(2) to install over the destination file.

     If services_mkdb fails it will leave the previous version of the destina‐
     tion file intact.
