NAME
       editmap  -  query and edit single records in database maps
       for sendmail

SYNOPSIS
       editmap [-C file] [-N] [-f] [-q|-u|-x] maptype mapname key
       [ "value ..." ]

DESCRIPTION
       Editmap  queries  or  edits  one record in a database maps
       used by the keyed map lookups in  sendmail(8).   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 map-
       type parameter.  They may be

       dbm    DBM  format  maps.   This  requires   the   ndbm(3)
              library.

       btree  B-Tree format maps.  This requires the new Berkeley
              DB library.

       hash   Hash format maps.  This also requires the  Berkeley
              DB library.

       If  the TrustedUser option is set in the sendmail configu-
       ration file and editmap is invoked as root, the  generated
       files will be owned by the specified TrustedUser.

   Flags
       -C     Use  the  specified sendmail configuration file for
              looking up the TrustedUser option.

       -N     Include the null byte that  terminates  strings  in
              the map (for alias maps).

       -f     Normally  all  upper  case  letters  in the key are
              folded to lower  case.   This  flag  disables  that
              behaviour.   This  is  intended to mesh with the -f
              flag in the K line in sendmail.cf.   The  value  is
              never case folded.

       -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     Deletes the specific key from the map.  Exits  with
