     YPCAT(NC)            System V NFS (12/3/90)             YPCAT(NC)



     NAME
          ypcat - print values in a NIS data base

     SYNOPSIS
          ypcat [ -k ] [ -t ] [ -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 mapname
          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 in:

               ypcat passwd

          Refer to ypfiles(NF) and ypserv(NADM) 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.  (None of the
               maps derived from files that have an ASCII version in
               /etc fall into this class.)

          -t   Inhibit translation of mname to mapname.  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   Specify a domain other that the default domain.  The
               default domain is returned by domainname(NC).

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