NETGROUP_MKDB(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual NETGROUP_MKDB(8) NAME netgroup_mkdb - generate the netgroup databases SYNOPSIS netgroup_mkdb [-o database] [file] DESCRIPTION netgroup_mkdb creates Berkeley databases for the specified file. If no file is specified, /etc/netgroup is used. These databases are then installed into /etc/netgroup.db. The file must be in the correct format (see netgroup(5)). The options are as follows: -o database Put the output databases in the named file. The databases are used by the C library netgroup routines (see getnetgrent(3)). FILES /etc/netgroup.db current netgroup database /etc/netgroup.db.tmp a temporary file /etc/netgroup current netgroup file EXIT STATUS The netgroup_mkdb utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO dbopen(3), getnetgrent(3), netgroup(5) BUGS Because netgroup_mkdb guarantees not to install a partial destination file, it must build a temporary file in the same file system and if successful use rename(2) to install over the destination file. If netgroup_mkdb fails, it will leave the previous version of the destination file intact. FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p8 January 4, 2023 FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p8
