ypmatch —
print the values of one or
more keys in a NIS database
SYNOPSIS
ypmatch |
[-ktz]
[-b
num_retry]
[-d
domainname] key ...
mapname |
DESCRIPTION
ypmatch prints out the values of one or more keys from the NIS
database specified by
mapname, which may be a map name
or a map nickname.
The options are as follows:
-
-
- -b
num_retry
- Do not wait infinite time for the ypserver to come up.
Retry only the specified number of times. See
yp_setbindtries(3)
for explanation. The valid range is limited from 0 to 65535 by this
program.
-
-
- -d
domainname
- Specify a domain other than the default domain.
-
-
- -k
- Print the map key followed by a colon, before printing key
value. This option is useful with maps in which the values are null or the
key is not part of the value.
-
-
- -t
- Inhibit translation of map nicknames to their corresponding
map names.
-
-
- -x
- Display the map nickname table, found in
/var/yp/nicknames. A built-in default translation table
is used if /var/yp/nicknames does not exist (see
nicknames(5) for
details).
-
-
- -z
- Append a NUL character at the end of the key when doing the
lookup. This is useful for mail.aliases maps, which include a trailing NUL
in the keys.
