SERVICES_MKDB(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual SERVICES_MKDB(8)
NAME services_mkdb - generate the services database
SYNOPSIS services_mkdb [-b | -l] [-q] [-o database] [file] services_mkdb -u [file]
DESCRIPTION The services_mkdb utility 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.db. The file must be in the correct format (see services(5)).
The options are as follows:
-b Use big-endian byte order for database metadata.
-l Use little-endian byte order for database metadata.
-o database Put the output databases in the named file.
-q Do not warn about duplicate services.
-u Print the services file to stdout, omitting duplicate entries and comments.
The databases are used by the C library services routines (see getservent(3)).
The -b and -l flags are mutually exclusive. The default byte ordering is the current host order.
FILES /var/db/services.db The current services database. /var/db/services.db.tmp A temporary file. /etc/services The current services file.
EXIT STATUS The services_mkdb utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO db(3), getservent(3), services(5)
BUGS Because 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.
