Overview
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.tmp -
A temporary file.
-
/etc/services -
The current services file.
Exit status
