NAME

       ypcat - print values from an Network Information Service (NIS) data base

SYNOPSIS

       ypcat [-k] [-t] [-d domainname] mname

       ypcat -x

OPTIONS

       Displays  information  on  the  domain  specified by domainname.  Displays keys for maps in which values are null or key is not part of the
       value.  Inhibits translation of mname to mapname. For example, ypcat -t passwd

	      will fail because there is no map named passwd, whereas ypcat passwd

	      will be translated to ypcat passwd.byname.  Displays map nickname table. This lists the nicknames (mnames) the command knows of, and
	      indicates the mapname associated with each nickname.

DESCRIPTION

       The ypcat command prints values stored in an NIS map specified by mname, which may be either a mapname or a map nickname.

       To look at the network-wide password database, passwd.byname, with the nickname passwd, type: ypcat passwd
