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.
