ypcat(NC)
ypcat --
print values in an NIS database
Syntax
ypcat [ -k ] [ -t ]
[ -d domainname ] mname
ypcat -x
Description
ypcat prints out values in a Network Information
Service (NIS) map specified by mname,
which may be either a mapname or a map
nickname. Since ypcat uses the
NIS network services, no NIS server is
specified.
To look at the network-wide password database,
passwd.byname (with the nickname
passwd), type:
ypcat passwd
Refer to
ypfiles(NF)
and
ypserv(NADM)
for an overview of the Network Information Service.
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 than the default domain. The
default domain is returned by
domainname(NC).
-x-
display the map nickname table. This lists the nicknames
(mnames) the command knows of and indicates the
mapname associated with each nickname.
