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:
