ypmatch(1nis)
ypmatch --
print the value of one or more keys from an NIS map
Synopsis
ypmatch [-d ypdomain] [-k] key... mname
ypmatch -x
Description
The ypmatch command
prints the values associated with one or more keys from the
Network Information Service (NIS) map specified by mname.
Usage
mname may specify either a map name or a map alias.
Multiple keys can be specified;
the same map will be searched for all keys.
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
ypmatch takes the following options:
- -d ypdomain
-
Specify a domain other than 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 so many keys were specified that
the output could be confusing.
- -x
-
Shows map aliases.
This lists the aliases (mnames) the command knows of,
and indicates the map name associated with each alias.
