ofmipname(8)

NAME
ofmipname - build a name-address database for ofmipd

SYNTAX
ofmipname name.cdb name.tmp

DESCRIPTION
ofmipname reads a name-address table from its standard input. It converts the table into a database suited for quick access by ofmipd. ofmipname writes the database to name.tmp; it then moves name.tmp to name.cdb. name.tmp and name.cdb must be on the same filesystem. If there is a problem creating name.tmp, ofmipname complains and leaves name.cdb alone. The database format is portable across machines.

INPUT FORMAT
The name-address table is a series of lines of the form key:name:address: (including the final colon). If ofmipd is given key (after hostname rewriting) as the return path for a message, it will replace the return path with address, eliminate any existing From field in the message, and insert a new From field showing name and address. ofmipname ignores any line beginning with #. For example:
       # From: "Joe Shmoe" <J.Shmoe@sun.af.mil>
       joe@sun.af.mil:Joe Shmoe:J.Shmoe@sun.af.mil:
