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.
