YPCAT(1)                COMMAND REFERENCE                YPCAT(1)



NAME
     ypcat - print values in a Yellow Pages data base

SYNOPSIS
     ypcat [ -k ] [ -t ] [ -d domainname ] mname
     ypcat -x

DESCRIPTION
     The ypcat program prints out values in a Yellow Pages (YP)
     map specified by mname, which may be either a mapname or a
     map nickname.  Since ypcat uses the YP network services, no
     YP server is specified.

     To look at the network-wide password data base,
     passwd.byname, (with the nickname passwd), type:

          ypcat passwd

     Refer to ypfiles(5) and ypserv(8) for an overview of the
     Yellow Pages.

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, the command ypcat -t passwd will fail
               because there is no map named passwd, whereas the
               command ypcat passwd will be translated to ypcat
               passwd.byname.

     -d        Specify a domain other than the default domain.
               The default domain is returned by domainname.

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