NAME
ypmatch - print the value of one or more keys from a NIS map
SYNOPSIS
ypmatch [ -d domain ] [ -k ] [ -t ] key ... mname
ypmatch -x
DESCRIPTION
ypmatch prints the values associated with one or more keys
from the network information service (NIS) map (database)
specified by mname, which may be either a mapname or a map
nickname.
Multiple keys can be specified; the same map will be
searched for all. 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.
OPTIONS
-d Specify a domain other that 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 you
have specified so many keys that the output could be
confusing.
-t Inhibit translation of nickname to mapname. For
example, ypmatch -t zippy passwd will fail because
there is no map named passwd, while ypmatch zippy
passwd will be translated to ypmatch zippy
passwd.byname.
-x Display the map nickname table. This lists the
nicknames (mnames) the command knows of and indicates
the mapname associated with each nickname.
