NAME
ypcat - print values from an Network Information Service (NIS) data
base
SYNOPSIS
ypcat [-k] [-t] [-d domainname] mname
ypcat -x
DESCRIPTION
The ypcat command prints values stored in an NIS map specified by
mname, which may be either a mapname or a map nickname.
To look at the network-wide password database, passwd.byname, with the
nickname passwd, type: ypcat passwd
FLAGS
-d domainname
Displays information on the domain specified by domainname.
-k Displays keys for maps in which values are null or key is not part
of the value.
-t Inhibits translation of mname to mapname. For example, ypcat -t
passwd will fail because there is no map named passwd, whereas ypcat
passwd will be translated to ypcat passwd.byname.
-x Displays map nickname table. This lists the nicknames (mnames) the
command knows of, and indicates the mapname associated with each
nickname.
