services_mkdb —

| services_mkdb | -u[file] | 
services_mkdb creates a
  db(3) database for the specified
  file. If no file is specified, then /etc/services is
  used. The database is installed into
  /var/db/services.cdb for CDB format and into
  /var/db/services.db for DB format (see
  -V). The file must be in the correct format (see
  services(5)).
The options are as follows:
-o
    database-q-u-Vcdb to request
      the CDB format (default) or db to request the DB
      format. The DB format is useful for compatibility with old statically
      linked binaries.-vThe databases are used by the C library services routines (see getservent(3)).
services_mkdb exits zero on success,
    non-zero on failure.
services_mkdb guarantees not to install a
  partial destination file it must build a temporary file in the same file
  system and if successful use
  rename(2) to install over the
  destination file.
If services_mkdb fails it will leave the
    previous version of the destination file intact.
