stab
Internally load aliases into the symbol table V8.10 and later
The stab
database-map type is used internally by
sendmail to load the raw
aliases(5) file into its
internal symbol table.[353] This is a fallback position that is
taken if no database form of aliasing is
found.
The stab type
should never be used in
configuration files.
[353] * As such, it is
somewhat misnamed. One might reasonably expect a
type named stab
to provide access to the symbol table, but alas,
this is not so.
