          NAME
               pathproc - pathalias post-processor for smail routing data-
               base

          DESCRIPTION
               pathproc takes lines of the form:

                    first_hop_cost  key  route

               as produced by pathalias -f, and converts them to the form

                    key route  cost

               as described in paths(5).  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 is an example of how pathproc is used:


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