ypcat - print values in a YP data base
SYNOPSIS
ypcat
[
-k
]
[
-t
]
[
-d
domainname
]
mname
ypcat
-x
DESCRIPTION
ypcat
prints out values in a yellow pages (YP) map specified by
mname,
which may be either a
mapname
or a map
nickname.
Since
ypcat
uses the YP network services, no YP server is specified.
To look at the network-wide password database,
passwd.byname,
(with the nickname
passwd).
type in:
ypcat passwd
Refer to ypfiles(5) and ypserv(8) for an overview of the yellow pages.
OPTIONS
- -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.)
- -t
-
Inhibit 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.
- -d
-
Specify a domain other that the default domain.
The default domain is returned by
domainname.
- -x
-
Display the map nickname table.
This lists the nicknames (mnames)
the command knows of, and indicates the
mapname
associated with each
nickname.
