NAME

       getent - get entries from administrative database

SYNOPSIS

       getent database [key...]

       getent  gets  a list of entries from the administrative database specified by database. The information generally comes from one or more of
       the sources that are specified for the database in /etc/nsswitch.conf.

       database is the name of the database to be examined. This can be passwd, group, hosts, ipnodes, services, protocols, ethers, project,  net-
       works,  or  netmasks.  For  each  of these databases, getent uses the appropriate library routines described in getpwnam(3C), getgrnam(3C),
       gethostbyaddr(3NSL),   gethostbyname(3NSL),   getipnodebyaddr(3SOCKET),	 getipnodebyname(3SOCKET),   getservbyname(3SOCKET),   getprotoby-
       name(3SOCKET), ethers(3SOCKET), getprojbyname(3PROJECT) and getnetbyname(3SOCKET), respectively.

       Each  key  must	be  in a format appropriate for searching on the respective database. For example, it can be a username or numeric-uid for
       passwd; hostname or IP address for hosts; or service, service/protocol, port, or port/proto for services.

       getent prints out the database entries that match each of the supplied keys, one per line, in the format  of  the  matching  administrative
       file: passwd(4), group(4), project(4), hosts(4), ipnodes(4), services(4), protocols(4), ethers(3SOCKET), networks(4), or netmasks(4). If no
       key is given, all entries returned by the corresponding enumeration library routine, for example, getpwent() or gethostent(), are  printed.
       Enumeration is not supported on ipnodes.

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion.

       1	Command syntax was incorrect, an invalid option was used, or an internal error occurred.

       2	At least one of the specified entry names was not found in the database.

       3	There is no support for enumeration on this database.
