.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBmakedbm\fR utility takes the  \fIinfile\fR and converts it to a pair of files in \fBndbm\fR format (see \fBndbm\fR(3C)), namely \fIoutfile\fR\fB\&.pag\fR and \fIoutfile\fR\fB\&.dir.\fR Each line of the input file is converted to a single \fBdbm\fR record. All characters up to the first \fBTAB\fR or \fBSPACE\fR form the key, and the rest of the line is the data. If a line ends with `\e' (backslash), the data for that record is continued on to the next line. \fBmakedbm\fR does not treat `#' (pound-sign) as a special character.
.sp
.LP
Because  \fBmakedbm\fR is mainly used in generating \fBdbm\fR files for the  \fBNIS\fR name service, it generates a special entry with the key \fIyp_last_modified\fR, which is the date of \fIinfile\fR (or the current time, if \fIinfile\fR is `\(mi').  The entries that have keys with the prefix \fIyp_\fR are interpreted by \fBNIS\fR server utilities.
.SH OPTIONS
