.SH NAME
dbmbuild \- database builder for PP
.SH SYNOPSIS
.in +.5i
.ti -.5i
dbmbuild \%[-nvdk] \%[database\ [table ...]] 
.in -.5i
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Dbmbuild
reads the tables specified in the PP tailor file into a hashed
database for use in quickly verifying addresses and efficiently assigning
channels to submitted messages.  If no database file is specified, the
default dbm filename is used from the PP tailor file.  If no table files
are specified, all tables listed in the tailor file are used. 
.PP
The options are:
.IP n
Don't create a new database, attempt to add to an existing database.
.IP v
Verbose mode.  Print out each table as it is processed.
.IP d
Debug mode.  Report everything that happens (verbose).
.IP k
Keep going.  If a file is mentioned that doesn't exist, ignore it.
It might be appropriate to make this the default at some sites.
.PP
Appropriate locks are placed on the database so that
.I dbmbuild
can safely be run while PP is in operation.
