ultrix man page for ypcat

ypcat(1yp)																ypcat(1yp)

Name
       ypcat - print values from a YP data base

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

Description
       The command prints values stored in a yellow pages (YP) 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

Options
       -d domainname
	  Displays information on the domain specified by domainname.

       -k Displays keys for maps in which values are null or key is not part of the value.

       -t 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.

       -x Displays  map  nickname  table.   This lists the nicknames (mnames) the command knows of, and indicates the mapname associated with each
	  nickname.
