YPMATCH(1)          UNIX Programmer's Manual           YPMATCH(1)



NAME
     ypmatch - print the value of one or more keys from a yp map

SYNOPSIS
     ypmatch [ -d _d_o_m_a_i_n ] [ -k ] [ -t ] _k_e_y ...  _m_n_a_m_e
     ypmatch -x

DESCRIPTION
     ypmatch prints the values associated with one or more keys
     from the yellow pages (YP) map (database) specified by a
     _m_n_a_m_e, which may be either a _m_a_p_n_a_m_e or an map _n_i_c_k_n_a_m_e.

     Multiple keys can be specified; the same map will be
     searched for all .  The keys must be exact values insofar as
     capitalization and length are concerned.  No pattern match-
     ing is available. If a key is not matched, a diagnostic mes-
     sage is produced.

OPTIONS
     -d   Specify a domain other that the default domain.

     -k   Before printing the value of a key, print the key
          itself, followed by a colon (':').  This is useful only
          if the keys are not duplicated in the values, or you've
          specified so many keys that the output could be confus-
          ing.

     -t   Inhibit translation of nickname to mapname.  For exam-
          ple, _y_p_m_a_t_c_h -_t _z_i_p_p_y _p_a_s_s_w_d will fail because there is
          no map named _p_a_s_s_w_d, while _y_p_m_a_t_c_h _z_i_p_p_y _p_a_s_s_w_d will be
          translated to _y_p_m_a_t_c_h _z_i_p_p_y _p_a_s_s_w_d._b_y_n_a_m_e .

     -x   Display the map nickname table.  This lists the nick-
          names (_m_n_a_m_e_s) the command knows of, and indicates the
          _m_a_p_n_a_m_e associated with each nickname.
