# SUMMARY
#	Postfix socketmap table lookup client
# SYNOPSIS
#	\fBpostmap -q "\fIstring\fB" socketmap:inet:\fIhost\fB:\fIport\fB:\fIname\fR
# .br
#	\fBpostmap -q "\fIstring\fB" socketmap:unix:\fIpathname\fB:\fIname\fR
#
#	\fBpostmap -q - socketmap:inet:\fIhost\fB:\fIport\fB:\fIname\fB <\fIinputfile\fR
# .br
#	\fBpostmap -q - socketmap:unix:\fIpathname\fB:\fIname\fB <\fIinputfile\fR
# DESCRIPTION
#	The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
#	rewriting. mail routing or policy lookup.
#
#	The Postfix socketmap client expects TCP endpoint names of
#	the form \fBinet:\fIhost\fB:\fIport\fB:\fIname\fR, or
#	UNIX-domain endpoints of the form \fBunix:\fIpathname\fB:\fIname\fR.
#	In both cases, \fIname\fR specifies the name field in a
#	socketmap client request (see "REQUEST FORMAT" below).
# PROTOCOL
# .ad
# .fi
#	Socketmaps use a simple protocol: the client sends one
#	request, and the server sends one reply.  Each request and
#	each reply are sent as one netstring object.
# REQUEST FORMAT
# .ad
# .fi
#	The socketmap protocol supports only the lookup request.
#	The request has the following form:
#
# .IP "\fB\fIname\fB <space> \fIkey\fR"
#	Search the named socketmap for the specified key. 
# .PP
#	Postfix will not generate partial search keys such as domain
#	names without one or more subdomains, network addresses
#	without one or more least-significant octets, or email
#	addresses without the localpart, address extension or domain
#	portion. This behavior is also found with cidr:, pcre:, and
#	regexp: tables.
# REPLY FORMAT
# .ad
# .fi
#	The Postfix socketmap client requires that replies are not
#	longer than 100000 characters (not including the netstring
#	encapsulation). Replies must have the following form:
# .IP "\fBOK <space> \fIdata\fR"
#	The requested data was found.
# .IP "\fBNOTFOUND <space>"
#	The requested data was not found.
# .IP "\fBTEMP <space> \fIreason\fR"
# .IP "\fBTIMEOUT <space> \fIreason\fR"
# .IP "\fBPERM <space> \fIreason\fR"
#	The request failed. The reason, if non-empty, is descriptive
#	text.
# SECURITY
#	This map cannot be used for security-sensitive information,
#	because neither the connection nor the server are authenticated.
