ypcat(1)                          ONC 5.4.2                         ypcat(1)


NAME
       ypcat - print values in an NIS data base

SYNOPSIS
       ypcat [ -kt ] [ -d domainname ] mname

       ypcat -x

DESCRIPTION
       ypcat prints out values in a Network Information Service (NIS) map
       specified by mname, which may be either a map name or a map nickname
       .  Since ypcat uses the NIS network services, no NIS server is
       specified.

       To look at the network-wide password database, passwd.byname (with
       the nickname passwd), type:

              ypcat passwd

       Refer to ypfiles(4) and ypserv(1M) for an overview of the Network
       Information Service.

OPTIONS
       -k     Display the keys for those maps in which the values are null
              or the key is not part of the value.

       -t     Inhibit translation of mname to map name.  For example, `ypcat
              -t passwd' will fail because there is no map named passwd,
              whereas `ypcat passwd' will be translated to `ypcat
              passwd.byname'.

       -d domainname
              Specify a domain other that the default domain.  The default
              domain is returned by domainname.

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