ypmatch(1) General Commands Manual ypmatch(1) NAME
ypmatch - print the value of one or more keys from an NIS map SYNOPSIS
ypmatch [-d domain] [-k] [-t] key... mname ypmatch -x OPTIONS
Displays key values for specified domain. Displays key, followed by a colon (:), before displaying value of the key. This is useful if the keys are not duplicated in the returned values, or if the number of specified keys is so large that the output is confusing. Inhibits translation of nickname to mapname. For example, ypmatch -t zippy passwd fails because there is no map named passwd, while ypmatch zippy passwd succeeds because ypmatch translates it to ypmatch zippy passwd.byname. Displays map nickname table. This option tells ypmatch to list the nicknames (mnames) with their associated mapnames. DESCRIPTION
The ypmatch command prints the values associated with one or more keys from the Network Information Service (NIS) map (database) specified by mname, which may be either a mapname or a map nickname. Multiple keys can be specified. After the key values and the map name have been specified, ypmatch searches the map for all of the speci- fied keys. The specified keys must be exact values in terms of capitalization and length. The ypmatch command does not have a pattern matching capability. If ypmatch cannot match a key, it produces a diagnostic message. The default list of mapnames served by NIS is as follows: passwd.byname, passwd.byuid, group.byname, group.byuid, hosts.byname, hosts.byaddr, networks.byname, networks.byaddr, services.byname, rpc.bynumber, protocols.byname, protocols.bynumber, netgroup.byuser, net- group.byhost, mail.alias. EXAMPLES
The following are sample command lines that illustrate how to use the ypmatch command to access information in each of the maps: ---------------------------------------------------------- Mapname Sample command ---------------------------------------------------------- passwd.byname ypmatch user1 passwd.byname passwd.byuid ypmatch uid1 passwd.byuid group.byname ypmatch group1 group.byname group.byuid ypmatch gid1 group.bygid hosts.byname ypmatch host1 host.byname hosts.byaddr ypmatch hostaddr1 hosts.byaddr networks.byname ypmatch network1 networks.byname networks.byaddr ypmatch netaddr1 networks.byaddr services.byname ypmatch servport/tcp services.byname rpc.bynumber ypmatch rpcnum rpc.bynumber protocols.byname ypmatch proto1 protocols.byname protocols.bynumber ypmatch protonum1 protocols.bynumber netgroup.byuser ypmatch user1 netgroup.byuser netgroup.byhost ypmatch host1 netgroup.byhost mail.alias ypmatch mailgroup1 mail.alias ---------------------------------------------------------- SEE ALSO

ypmatch(1yp) ypmatch(1yp) Name ypmatch - print the value of one or more keys from a yp map Syntax ypmatch [-d domain] [-k] [-t] key... mname ypmatch -x Description The command prints the values associated with one or more keys from the yellow pages (YP) map (database) specified by a mname, which may be either a mapname or a map nickname. Multiple keys can be specified. After the key values and the map name have been specified, searches the map for all of the specified keys. The specified keys must be exact values in terms of capitalization and length. The command does not have a pattern matching capability. If cannot match a key, it produces a diagnostic message. The default list of mapnames served by YP is as follows: Note that the YP server must be running ULTRIX Version 4.2 or higher for the and maps to exist. Also note that the map is accessed with port numbers, not service names. Use the map to access services by name. The map remains for compatibility. See the Examples section for sample command lines that illustrate how to access information in each of the maps. Options -d Displays key values for specified domain. -k Displays key, followed by a colon (:), before displaying value of the key. This is useful if the keys are not duplicated in the returned values, or if the number of specified keys is so large that the output is confusing. -t Inhibits translation of nickname to mapname. For example, ypmatch -t zippy passwd fails because there is no map named passwd, while ypmatch zippy passwd succeeds because translates it to ypmatch zippy passwd.byname. -x Displays map nickname table.
