ypcat(1nis)
ypcat --
print values in an NIS map
Synopsis
ypcat [-k]
[-d ypdomain] mname
ypcat -x
Description
The ypcat command prints out values in the
Network Information Service (NIS) map specified by mname,
which may be either a map name or a map alias.
Usage
Since ypcat uses the NIS network services, no
NIS server is specified.
Refer to
ypfiles(4nis)
and
ypserv(1Mnis)
for an overview of the NIS service.
Options
ypcat takes the following options:
-d ypdomain-
Specify a domain other that the default domain.
-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.
-x-
Display map aliases.
This lists the aliases (mnames)
the command knows of,
and indicates the map name associated with each alias.
