As documented in the postmap manpage:
-d key
...
If a key value of - is specified, the program reads key values
from the standard input stream.
-i Incremental mode. Read entries from standard input and do not
truncate an existing database.
-q key
...
If a key value of - is specified, the program reads key values
from the standard input stream and writes one line of key value
output for each key that was found.
