     mmaakkeemmaapp creates the database maps used by the keyed map lookups in
     sendmail(8).  It reads input from the standard input and outputs them to
     the indicated _m_a_p_n_a_m_e.

     Depending on how it is compiled, mmaakkeemmaapp handles up to three different
     database formats, selected using the _m_a_p_t_y_p_e 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(3) li-
                 brary.

     hash        Hash format maps.  This also requires the db(3) library.

     In all cases, mmaakkeemmaapp reads lines from the standard input consisting of
     two words separated by white space.  The first is the database key, the
     second is the value.  The value may contain ``%_n'' strings to indicated
     parameter substitution.  Literal parentheses should be doubled (``%%'').
     Blank lines and lines beginning with ``#'' are ignored.

     --NN          Include the null byte that terminates strings in the map.
                 This must match the -N flag in the sendmail.cf ``K'' line.

     --ff          Fold all upper case letters in the key to lower case; this is
                 intended to mesh with the -f flag in the KK line in send-
                 mail.cf.  The value is not case folded.

     --oo          Append to an old file.  This allows you to augment an exist-
                 ing file.

     --rr          Allow replacement of existing keys.  Normally mmaakkeemmaapp com-
                 plains if you repeat a key, and does not do the insert.

     --vv          Verbosely print what it is doing.
