-.SH NAME
-exim_dbmbuild \- Build a DBM file.
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B exim_dbmbuild
-.I [\-nolc] [\-nozero] [\-noduperr] [\-nowarn] inputfile|\- outputfile
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.B exim_dbmbuild
-program reads an input file containing keys and data in
-the format used by the
-.I lsearch
-lookup (see section 9.1).
-It writes a DBM file using the lower-cased alias names as keys and the
-remainder of the information as data.
-The lower-casing can be prevented by calling the program with the
-.I \-nolc
-option.
-
-A terminating zero is included as part of the key string.
-This is expected by the dbm lookup type.
-However, if the option
-.I \-nozero
-is given,
-.B exim_dbmbuild
-creates files without terminating zeroes in either the key strings or the
-data strings.
-The
-.I dbmnz
-lookup type can be used with such files.
-
-The program requires two arguments: the name of the input file (which can
-be a single hyphen to indicate the standard input), and the name of the
-output file.
-It creates the output under a temporary name, and then renames it if all
-went well.
-If the native DB interface is in use (USE_DB is set in a compile-time
-configuration file - this is common in free versions of Unix) the two file
-names must be different, because in this mode the Berkeley DB functions
-create a single output file using exactly the name given.
-For example,
-
- exim_dbmbuild /etc/aliases /etc/aliases.db
-
-reads the system alias file and creates a DBM version of it in
-/etc/aliases.db.
-
-In systems that use the
-.I ndbm
-routines (mostly proprietary versions of Unix), two files are used, with the
-suffixes .dir and .pag.
-In this environment, the suffixes are added to the second argument of
-.B exim_dbmbuild,
-so it can be the same as the first.
-This is also the case when the Berkeley functions are used in
-compatibility mode (though this is not recommended), because in that case
-it adds a .db suffix to the file name.
-
-If a duplicate key is encountered, the program outputs a warning, and when
-it finishes, its return code is 1 rather than zero, unless the
-.I \-noduperr
-option is used.
-By default, only the first of a set of duplicates is used - this makes it
-compatible with lsearch lookups.
-There is an option
-.I \-lastdup
-which causes it to use the data for the last duplicate instead.
-There is also an option
-.I \-nowarn,
-which stops it listing duplicate keys to \(lqstderr\(rq.
-For other errors, where it doesn't actually make a new file, the return
-code is 2.

-.SH BUGS
-This manual page needs a major re-work. If somebody knows better groff
-than us and has more experience in writing manual pages, any patches
-would be greatly appreciated.
