DESCRIPTION
     aliasadm makes changes to the alias map.


     The alias map is an NIS] table object with four columns:

     alias        The name of the  alias  as  a  null  terminated
                  string.


     expansion    The value of the alias as it would appear in  a
                  sendmail /etc/aliases file.


     options      A list of options applicable to this alias. The
                  only  option currently supported is CANON. With
                  this option,  if  the  user  has  requested  an
                  inverse  alias  lookup,  and there is more than
                  one alias with this expansion,  this  alias  is
                  given preference.


     comments     An arbitrary string containing  comments  about
                  this alias. The sendmail(1M) command reads this
                  map in addition to the NIS aliases map and  the
                  local /etc/aliases database.
