YPMATCH(1)YPMATCH(1)NAMEypmatch - print the value of one or more keys from a yp map
SYNOPSISypmatch [ -d domain ] [ -k ] [ -t ] key ... mname
ypmatch-x
DESCRIPTIONypmatch prints the values associated with one or more keys from the
yellow pages (YP) map specified by a mname, which may be either a
mapname or an 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've 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.
