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.
