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
/var/db/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
- /var/db/netgroup.db
- The current netgroup database
- /var/db/netgroup.db.tmp
- A temporary file
- /etc/netgroup
- The current netgroup file

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
successful use
rename(2) to
install over the destination file.
If
netgroup_mkdb fails it will leave the previous version of
the destination file intact.
