getent
GETENT(1) BSD General Commands Manual GETENT(1)NAME
getent -- get entries from administrative database
SYNOPSIS
getent database [key ...]
DESCRIPTION
The getent utility retrieves and displays entries from the administrative database specified by database, using the lookup order specified in
nsswitch.conf(5). The display format for a given database is as per the ``traditional'' file format for that database.
The database argument may be one of:
Database Display format
ethers address name
group group:passwd:gid:[member[,member]...]
hosts address name [alias ...]
networks name network [alias ...]
passwd user:passwd:uid:gid:gecos:home_dir:shell
protocols name protocol [alias ...]
rpc name number [alias ...]
services name port/protocol [alias ...]
shells /path/to/shell
utmpx [time] type: properties
If one or more key arguments are provided, they will be looked up in database using the appropriate function. For example, ``passwd'' sup-
ports a numeric UID or user name; ``hosts'' supports an IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or host name; and ``services'' supports a service name,
service name/protocol name, numeric port, or numeric port/protocol name.
If no key is provided and database supports enumeration, all entries for database will be retrieved using the appropriate enumeration func-
tion and printed.
EXIT STATUS
The getent utility exits 0 on success, 1 if there was an error in the command syntax, 2 if one of the specified key names was not found in
database, or 3 if there is no support for enumeration on database.

Linux.
