🎀 table_socketmap(5) — File Formats Manual 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

table_socketmap — format description for smtpd socketmap tables. Bestie, this is the whole socketmap table format vibe. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so this manual page documents the file format of "socketmap" tables used by the smtpd(8) mail daemon. Yes, that smtpd(8). 👑

The format described here applies to tables as defined in smtpd.conf(5). No cap. ✨

🦋 SOCKETMAP TABLE 🦋

A "socketmap" table uses a simple protocol. The client sends a single-line request and the server sends a single-line reply. That’s the whole energy. 💌

The table may be used for any kind of key-based lookup and replies are expected to follow the formats described in table(5). Iconic. 🔥

🕰️ HISTORY 🕰️

The first version of table_socketmap was written in 2014. It was converted to the stdio table protocol in 2024. A little throwback, a little glow-up. 💜

👑 AUTHORS 👑

table_socketmap was initially written by Gilles Chehade <gilles@poolp.org>. The conversion to the stdio protocol was done by Omar Polo <op@openbsd.org>. Literally king behavior. 🫶

Cute sign-off bestie: this page is from Debian, dated April 21, 2024. Now go slay those socketmap tables. 🌈💅
