NAME
netgroup_mkdb -- generate the netgroup database
SYNOPSIS
netgroup_mkdb [-o database] [file]
DESCRIPTION
netgroup_mkdb creates a db(3) database for the specified file. If no file is specified, then /etc/netgroup is used. This database is installed into /etc/netgroup.db. The file must be in the correct format (see netgroup(5)). The options are as follows: -o database Put the output databases in the named file. The databases are used by the C library netgroup routines (see getnetgrent(3)). netgroup_mkdb exits zero on success, non-zero on failure.
FILES
/etc/netgroup.db The current netgroup database /etc/netgroup.db.tmp A temporary file /etc/netgroup The current netgroup file
SEE ALSO
db(3), getnetgrent(3), netgroup(5)
BUGS
Because netgroup_mkdb guarantees not to install a partial destination file it must build a temporary file in the same file system and if suc- cessful use rename(2) to install over the destination file. If netgroup_mkdb fails it will leave the previous version of the destina- tion file intact. NetBSD 4.0 February 3, 1994 NetBSD 4.0
