ypupdate(3N)                     UNIX System V                     ypupdate(3N)


NAME
      ypupdate - change NIS information

SYNOPSIS
      #include <rpcsvc/ypclnt.h>

      ypupdate(char *domain, char *map, unsigned ypop, char *key,
            int keylen, char *data, int datalen);

DESCRIPTION
      ypupdate is used to make changes to the NIS database.  The syntax is the
      same as that of ypmatch except for the extra parameter ypop, which may
      take on one of four values.  If it is YPOPCHANGE then the data
      associated with the key will be changed to the new value.  If the key is
      not found in the database, then ypupdate will return YPERRKEY.  If ypop
      has the value YPOPINSERT then the key-value pair will be inserted into
      the database.  The error YPERRKEY is returned if the key already exists
      in the database.  To store an item into the database without concern for
      whether it exists already or not, pass ypop as YPOPSTORE and no error
      will be returned if the key already or does not exist.  To delete an
      entry, the value of ypop should be YPOPDELETE.

      This routine depends upon secure RPC, and will not work unless the
      network is running secure RPC.
