-u Undo the database_name (i.e., write the contents of database_name to the standard output), one dbm
record per line. A single space separates each key from its value.
EXAMPLES
Shell scripts can be written to convert ASCII files such as /etc/netgroup to the key-value form used
by makedbm. For example,
#!/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/awk ’BEGIN { FS = ":" } { print $1, $0 }’ \
/etc/netgroup | \
makedbm - netgroup
converts the file /etc/netgroup to a form that is read by makedbm to make the NIS map net-
group
. The keys in the database are netgroup(4) names, and the values are the remainders of the lines in
the /etc/netgroup file.
