Name
-N
Synopsis
The
-N switch tells makemap to
include a trailing zero byte with each key that it adds to the
database. When sendmail looks up a key in the
database, it uses a binary comparison. Some databases, such as
/etc/aliases under SunOS, append a zero byte to
each key. When a trailing zero byte is included with a key, it must
also be included with the tokens being looked up, or the lookup will
fail. The use of this switch must match the
K command (-N).
