NAME

pathproc - pathalias post-processor for smail routing database  

DESCRIPTION

Pathproc takes lines of the form

first_hop_cost        key     route

as produced by pathalias -f and converts it to the form

key  route   cost

as described in paths(8). On the input, the route_cost is pathalias's total cost for the route. On the output, the cost is the cost for the first segment of the route. This represents the cost, to the local host, of passing the mail to its neighbor.

The output is sorted by key in ascending order.  

EXAMPLE

Here's an example of how you might use pathproc:

pathalias -f map_files | pathproc > newpaths
mv newpaths /usr/lib/uucp/paths
