YPMAKE(8)           UNIX Programmer's Manual            YPMAKE(8)



NAME
     ypmake - rebuild yellow pages database

SYNOPSIS
     cd /etc/yp ; make [ _m_a_p ]

DESCRIPTION
     The file called _M_a_k_e_f_i_l_e in /_e_t_c/_y_p is used by _m_a_k_e to build
     the yellow pages database.  With no arguments, _m_a_k_e creates
     _d_b_m databases for any YP maps that are out-of-date, and then
     executes _y_p_p_u_s_h to notify slave databases that there has
     been a change.

     If you supply a _m_a_p on the command line, _m_a_k_e will update
     that map only.  Typing _m_a_k_e _p_a_s_s_w_d will create and _y_p_p_u_s_h
     the password database (assuming it is out of date).  Like-
     wise, _m_a_k_e _h_o_s_t_s and _m_a_k_e _n_e_t_w_o_r_k_s will create and _y_p_p_u_s_h
     the host and network files, /_e_t_c/_h_o_s_t_s and /_e_t_c/_n_e_t_w_o_r_k_s.

     There are three special variables used by _m_a_k_e: DIR, which
     gives the directory of the source files; NOPUSH, which when
     non-null inhibits doing a _y_p_p_u_s_h of the new database files;
     and DOM, used to construct a domain other than the master's
     default domain.  The default for DIR is /_e_t_c, and the
     default for NOPUSH is the null string.

     Refer to ypfiles(5) and ypserv(8) for an overview of the
     yellow pages.
