mkfnames(8)          INTERACTIVE UNIX System          mkfnames(8)



          NAME
               mkfnames - create full name database

          SYNOPSIS
               mkfnames [ file  ... ]

          DESCRIPTION
               The mkfnames program uses the named files as input and
               writes a sorted database suitable for use as the full name
               database for smail(8) on the standard output.  The format of
               an input line is defined by nptx(8).  If no files are speci-
               fied, then the password file is used as the file to parse
               and an attempt is made to put it into the format needed by
               nptx.  There is no guarantee that a usable file will result
               because there are so many different password file formats.
