When rebuilding the aliases files, each database is opened before it is rebuilt or not. The -d38.4 debugging switch shows the success or failure of each open:

map_init( dbtype:name, file, pass ) from -d38.2 dbtype:name file valid or invalid

The status is valid if the open succeeded; otherwise , it is invalid .

The -d38.4 debugging switch also shows each map being looked up in a switch database type (switch):

switch_map_open( name, file, mode ) from -d38.2 map_stack[ index ] = dbtype:name

If the name was not declared in a K configuration command, the following error is printed:

Switch map dbtype : unknown member map name
