ypmatch(1N)                                                     ypmatch(1N)


   NAME
         ypmatch - print the value of one or more keys from a YP map

   SYNOPSIS
         ypmatch [ -d ypdomain ] [ -k ] key...  mname

   DESCRIPTION
         ypmatch prints the values associated with one or more keys from the
         YPs name services map specified by mname, which may be either a
         mapname or an map nickname.

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

         The following options are available:

         -d ypdomain
               Specify a domain other than the default domain.

         -k    Before printing the value of a key, print the key itself,
               followed by a `:'  colon . This is useful only if the keys are
               not duplicated in the values, or so many keys were specified
               that the output could be confusing.
