NAME
     ypcat - print values in a NIS data base

SYNOPSIS
     ypcat [ -kt ] [ -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 map name
     or a map nickname.  Since ypcat uses the NIS network ser-
     vices, 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(4) and ypserv(1M) 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 map name.  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 domainname
          Specify a domain other that the default domain.  The
          default domain is returned by domainname.

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