ypmatch(1)                       UNIX System V                       ypmatch(1)


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

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

DESCRIPTION
      ypmatch prints the values associated with one or more keys from the NIS
      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.
