ypmatch(1)                                             ypmatch(1)



     NAME
          ypmatch - list the value of keys in a YP map

     SYNOPSIS
          ypmatch [-ddomain] [-k] [-t] key...  mname

          ypmatch -x

     DESCRIPTION
          ypmatch lists the values associated with one or more keys
          from the yellow pages (YP) map (database) specified by a
          mname, which may be either a mapname or a map nickname.

          Multiple keys can be specified; the same map will be
          searched for all .  The keys must be exact values insofar as
          capitalization and length are concerned.  No pattern match-
          ing is available.  If a key is not matched, a diagnostic
          message is produced.

     FLAG OPTIONS
          The following flag options are interpreted by ypmatch:

          -d      Specify a domain other than the default domain.

          -k      Before displaying the value of a key, display the
                  key itself, followed by a colon (:).  This is useful
                  only if the keys are not duplicated in the values,
                  or you've specified so many keys that the output
                  could be confusing.

          -t      Inhibit translation of nickname to mapname.  For ex-
                  ample,

                     ypmatch -t zippy passwd

                  will fail because there is no map named passwd,
                  while

                     ypmatch zippy passwd

                  will be translated to

                     ypmatch zippy passwd.byname


          -x      Display the map nickname table.  This lists the
                  nicknames (mnames) the command knows of, and indi-
                  cates the mapname associated with each nickname.
