ypcat(1yp)ypcat(1yp)Nameypcat - print values from a YP data base
Syntaxypcat [-k] [-t] [-d domainname] mname
ypcat-x
Description
The command prints values stored in a yellow pages (YP) 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
Options-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.
