praliases(1M)

praliases -- print aliases database

Synopsis

/etc/mail/praliases [ -f filename ]

Description

praliases dumps the binary alias database used by sendmail(1M). This is primarily intended for debugging.

The default alias file is /etc/mail/aliases.db. The -f option causes praliases to dump the specified filename instead of the default. filename should not have the .db extension; this will be added automatically.

If a .db file does not exist, praliases will attempt to open an old-style DBM database and display its contents instead.

Files

/etc/mail/aliases: the alias text file
/etc/mail/aliases.db: the alias database
/etc/mail/aliases.{dir,pag}: the old-format alias database
/etc/sendmail.cf: sendmail configuration file
