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.
