NAME
mkalias
- a NIS map conversion program
SYNOPSIS
mkalias
[-deEnsuv]
input
[output]
DESCRIPTION
mkalias
is used to convert a
mail.aliases
map to a
mail.byaddr
map. This is a inverse map of user@host (or user!host) back to alias.
mkalias
uses
input
as the input map, and if
output
is given, use that as the output map.
If the output map isn't given don't create database.
This can be useful when
-e
or
-E
is given.
The options are as follows:
- -d
-
Assume domain names are OK.
Only useful together with
-e
or
-E.
- -e
-
Check host to verify that it exists.
- -E
-
Same as
-e,
but also check for any MX-record.
- -n
-
Capitalize name.
E.g., mats.o.jansson becomes Mats.O.Jansson.
- -u
-
Assume UUCP names are OK.
Only useful together with
-e
or
-E.
- -s
-
Ignored (only provided for compatibility with SunOS 4.1.x).
- -v
-
Verbose mode.
