# mk-amd-map(8)

create database maps for Amd

## NAME

**mk-amd-map** - create database maps for Amd

## SYNOPSIS

**mk-amd-map** \[ **-p** \] *mapname*

## DESCRIPTION

**mk-amd-map** creates the database maps used by the keyed map lookups in [amd(8)](/amd/8.md). It reads input from the named file and outputs them to a correspondingly named hashed database.

- **-p**

  This option prints the map on standard output instead of generating a database.  This is usually used to merge continuation lines into one physical line.
