      1 .TH qmail-newu 8
      2 .SH NAME
      3 qmail-newu \- prepare address assignments for qmail-lspawn
      4 .SH SYNOPSIS
      5 .B qmail-newu
      6 .SH DESCRIPTION
      7 .B qmail-newu
      8 reads the assignments in
      9 .B QMAILHOME/users/assign
     10 and writes them into
     11 .B QMAILHOME/users/cdb
     12 in a binary format suited
     13 for quick access by
     14 .BR qmail-lspawn .
     15 
     16 If there is a problem with
     17 .BR users/assign ,
     18 .B qmail-newu
     19 complains and leaves
     20 .B users/cdb
     21 alone.
     22 
     23 .B qmail-newu
     24 ensures that
     25 .B users/cdb
     26 is updated atomically,
     27 so
     28 .B qmail-lspawn
     29 never has to wait for
     30 .B qmail-newu
     31 to finish.
     32 However,
     33 .B qmail-newu
     34 makes no attempt to protect against two simultaneous updates of
     35 .BR users/cdb .
     36 
     37 The binary
     38 .B users/cdb
     39 format is portable across machines.
