NAME

ypcat − print values in a YP data base

SYNOPSIS

ypcat [ −k ] [ −d ypdomain ] [ −t ] mname
ypcat [ −x ]

DESCRIPTION

The ypcat command prints out values in the YP name service map specified by mname, which may be either a map name or a map nickname.  Since ypcat uses the YP network services, no YP server is specified. 

Refer to ypfiles(4) and ypserv(1M) for an overview of the YP name service. 

The following options are available:

−d ypdomain
Specify a domain other that the default domain.

−k Display the keys for those maps in which the values are null or the key is not part of the value.  None of the maps derived from files that have an ASCII version in /etc fall into this class. 

−t Inhibit map nickname translation. 

-x Dump the map nickname translation table.
