mkpath -- Command

Create a pathalias output file
/usr/lib/mail/mkpath [-v] [-V] [-x] [-e] [-n] \
                [-t trace] [path_config]

The script mkpath is a wrapper for the command pathalias, which generates a
set of paths among computers.

File path_config holds the data that  are passed to pathalias; if it is set
to  `-', then  pathalias reads  the standard input.   If no  path_config is
named   on    the   command   line,    mkpath   by   default    uses   file
/usr/lib/mail/maps/mkpath.conf.

mkpath recognizes the following command-line options:

-e Tell mkpath to  stop when it encounters a syntax  error, or if a command
   that it invokes exits with a non-zero status.

-n Disable the  execution of  any commands  useful with the  Bourne shell's
   option -v, and disables its own options -e, -t, -V, and -x.

-t tracefile
   Copy into tracefile all data passed to pathalias.

-V Invoke command pathalias with its option -v.

-v Verbose mode.  Its commands  are executed with the Bourne shell's option
   -v, which echoes each command as it is read.

-x Verbose mode.  Its commands  are executed with the Bourne shell's option
   -x, which echoes each command as it is executed.
