17 !!DESCRIPTION
18
19
20 The exim_dbmbuild program reads an input file in the format
21 of an alias file (see chapter 20) and writes a DBM database
22 using the lower-cased alias names as keys and the remainder
23 of the information as data. Two arguments are required: the
24 name of the input file (which can be a single hyphen to
25 indicate the standard input), and the base name of the
26 output database. For example:
27
28
29 exim_dbmbuild /etc/aliases /etc/aliases
30
31
32 reads the system alias file and creates a DBM database using
33 /etc/aliases as the base name. In systems that use the ndbm
34 routines, the database consists of two files called (in this
35 case) /etc/aliases.dir and /etc/aliases.pag, while in
36 systems using the ndbm interface to the db routines a single
37 file called /etc/aliases.db is used. If the native db
38 interface is in use (USE_DB is set in a compile-time
39 configuration file) then a single file with no added prefix
40 is used. In this case the two file names on the command line
41 must be different. The utility in fact creates the database
42 under a temporary name, and then renames the
43 file(s).
