ypcat(1)
NAME
  ypcat - print values from an Network Information Service (NIS) data base

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

  ypcat -x

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.

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
