\bp creates the database maps used by the keyed map lookups in
14 sendmail(8). It reads input from the standard input and outputs them
15 to the indicated _

17 Depending on how it is compiled, m
\bma

\bma
\bap
\bp handles up to three different
18 database formats, selected using the _
\bm_
\ba_
\bp_
\bt_
\by_
\bp_
\be parameter. They may be
20 dbm DBM format maps. This requires the ndbm(3) library.
22 btree B-Tree format maps. This requires the new Berkeley DB library.
24 hash Hash format maps. This also requires the Berkeley DB library.
26 In all cases, m
\bma
\bak
\bke
\bem
\bma
\bap
\bp reads lines from the standard input consisting of
27 two words separated by white space. The first is the database key, the
28 second is the value. The value may contain ``%_
\bn'' strings to indicate
29 parameter substitution. Literal percents should be doubled (``%%'').
30 Blank lines and lines beginning with ``#'' are ignored.

49 -
\b-D
\bD Use to specify the character to use to indicate a comment (which
50 is ignored) instead of the default of '#'.
52 -
\b-d
\bd Allow duplicate keys in the map. This is only allowed on B-Tree
53 format maps. If two identical keys are read, they will both be
54 inserted into the map.
56 -
\b-e
\be Allow empty value (right hand side).
58 -
\b-f
\bf Normally all upper case letters in the key are folded to lower
59 case. This flag disables that behaviour. This is intended to
