services_mkdb
creates a
db(3) database for the specified
file. If no file is specified, then /etc/services is
used. The database is installed into
/var/db/services.cdb for CDB format and into
/var/db/services.db for DB format (see
-V
). The file must be in the correct format (see
services(5)).
The options are as follows:
-o
database-q
-u
-V
cdb
to request
the CDB format (default) or db
to request the DB
format. The DB format is useful for compatibility with old statically
linked binaries.-v
The databases are used by the C library services routines (see getservent(3)).
services_mkdb
exits zero on success,
non-zero on failure.
services_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 services_mkdb
fails it will leave the
previous version of the destination file intact.
