+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+creates the database maps used by the keyed map lookups in
+.Xr sendmail 8 .
+It reads input from the standard input
+and outputs them to the indicated
+.Ar mapname .
+.Pp
+Depending on how it is compiled,
+.Nm
+handles up to three different database formats,
+selected using the
+.Ar maptype
+parameter.
+They may be
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Li dbm
+DBM format maps.
+This requires the
+.Xr ndbm 3
+library.
+.It Li btree
+B-Tree format maps.
+This requires the new Berkeley DB
+library.
+.It Li hash
+Hash format maps.
+This also requires the Berkeley DB
+library.
+.El
+.Pp
+In all cases,
+.Nm
+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
+``%\fIn\fP''
+strings to indicated parameter substitution.
+Literal percents should be doubled
+(``%%'').
+Blank lines and lines beginning with ``#'' are ignored.
+.Ss Flags
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Fl N
+Include the null byte that terminates strings
+in the map.
+This must match the \-N flag in the sendmail.cf
+``K'' line.
+.It Fl d
+Allow duplicate keys in the map.
+This is only allowed on B-Tree format maps.
+If two identical keys are read,
+they will both be inserted into the map.
+.It Fl f
+Normally all upper case letters in the key
+are folded to lower case.
+This flag disables that behaviour.
+This is intended to mesh with the
+\-f flag in the
+\fBK\fP
+line in sendmail.cf.
+The value is never case folded.
+.It Fl o
+Append to an old file.
+This allows you to augment an existing file.
+.It Fl r
+Allow replacement of existing keys.
+Normally
+.Nm
+complains if you repeat a key,
+and does not do the insert.
+.It Fl s
+Ignore safety checks on maps being created.
+This includes checking for hard or symbolic
+links in world writable directories.
+.It Fl v
+Verbosely print what it is doing.
