    Depending on how it is compiled, handles up to three different database formats, selected using the maptype parameter. They may be -tag -width Fl

    Li btree B-Tree format maps. This requires the new Berkeley DB library.

    Li hash Hash format maps. This also requires the Berkeley DB library.

    In all cases, reads lines from the standard input consisting of two words separated by white space. The first is the database key, the second is the value. The value may contain ``%n'' strings to indicated parameter substitution. Literal percents should be doubled (``%%''). Blank lines and lines beginning with ``#'' are ignored. -tag -width Fl

    Fl N Include the null byte that terminates strings in the map. This must match the -N flag in the sendmail.cf ``K'' line. \nP \ \{\

    Fl c Use the specified hash and B-Tree cache size.
