MKALIAS(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual MKALIAS(8)
NAME
mkalias - a YP map conversion program
SYNOPSIS
mkalias [-nv] [-E | -e [-du]] input [output]
DESCRIPTION
mkalias is used to convert a mail.aliases map to a mail.byaddr map. This
is an inverse map of user@host (or user!host) back to alias.
The options are as follows:
-d Assume domain names are OK. Only useful together with -E or -e.
-E Same as -e, but also check for any MX-record.
-e Check host to verify that it exists.
-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.
-v Verbose mode.
input Use this map as input.
output Use this map as output. If the output map isn't given, don't
create database. Can be useful together with -E or -e.

BUGS
mkalias on SunOS 4.1.x seems to have a -s. Since I don't know what it is
supposed to do, I haven't implemented it. But it is accepted by the
program.
