The gdbm family of functions provide a way of quickly storing and looking up key/data pairs\&. +.PP +You can use any program to create GDBM/DB database files\&. +\fBmakedat\fR +is a quick utility to create GDBM or DB files from plain text files\&. +.PP +The system administrator selects whether +\fBmaildrop\fR +uses GDBM or DB database files and whether +\fBmakedat\fR +creates GDBM or DB database files as well\&. +.PP +The +\fBmakedat\fR +command may not be available to you\&. GDBM/DB support in +\fBmaildrop\fR +is optional, and the system administrator may choose not to install GDBM/DB support and the +\fBmakedat\fR +command\&. +.PP +To see whether GDBM or DB support is being used, run the command "\fBmaildrop \-v\fR"\&. +.PP +The +\fItextfile\fR +argument to +\fBmakedat\fR +is a plain text file containing key/value pairs\&. Each line in the text file contains a key value, followed by a tab and a data value\&. The data value may be omitted, which defaults to "1"\&. For example, the following three lines: +.sp +.if n \{\ +.RS 4 +.\} +.nf +example\&.com + +domain\&.com<tab>ok + +foo\&.domain\&.com<tab>bad +.fi +.if n \{\ +.RE +.\} +.PP +Three key/value pairs are created: example\&.com, value "1"; domain\&.com, value "ok", and "foo\&.domain\&.com", value "bad"\&. +.PP +Empty lines in +\fItextfile\fR, and lines starting with the # character, are ignored\&. +.PP +\fItextfile\fR +can be "\-", in which case standard input is used\&. +.PP +\fIgdbmfile\fR +is the GDBM/DB file to create\&. If this file exists, its existing contents are replaced\&. +.PP +\fItmpfile\fR +is a name of a temporary file in the same directory as +\fIgdbmfile\fR\&. +\fItmpfile\fR +is used by +\fBmakedat\fR +to create the GDBM file, then +\fItmpfile\fR +is renamed to +\fIgdbmfile\fR\&. +.PP +This approach foregoes any need for locking in order to be able to dynamically update GDBM/DB files used by +\fBmaildrop\fR\*(Aqs gdbm functions\&. However, +\fBmakedat\fR +does not use any locks on +\fItmpfile\fR, so multiple instances of +\fBmakedat\fR +using the same +\fItmpfile\fR +are prohibited\&. +.PP +The +\fB\-cidr\fR +flag specifies that the key is an IP netblock in CIDR notation\&. This flag requires the +Net::CIDR +Perl module to be installed separately\&. Download Net::CIDR from +\m[blue]\fBhttp://www\&.cpan\&.org\fR\m[]\&. +.SH "BUGS" +.PP +There are historical reasons why database functions in maildrop are called gdbm functions\&. The initial implementation used GDBM functions exclusively\&. The ability to use the DB library instead of the GDBM library has been added later\&. +.SH "EXAMPLE" +.sp +.if n \{\ +.RS 4 +.\} +.nf +makedat blacklist /etc/mail/blacklist\&.tmp /etc/mail/blacklist\&.dat +.fi +.if n \{\ +.RE +.\} +.PP +Takes +blacklist, and creates +/etc/mail/blacklist\&.dat, using +/etc/mail/blacklist\&.tmp +as a temporary file\&. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.PP +\m[blue]\fB\fBmaildrop\fR(1)\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2, +\m[blue]\fB\fBmaildropgdbm\fR(5)\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[2]\d\s+2\&. +.SH "AUTHOR" +.PP +\fBSam Varshavchik\fR +.RS 4 +Author +.RE +.SH "NOTES" +.IP " 1." 4 +\fBmaildrop\fR(1) +.RS 4 +\%http://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop/maildrop.html +.RE +.IP " 2." 4 +\fBmaildropgdbm\fR(5) +.RS 4 +\%http://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop/maildropgdbm.html +.RE |
