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

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

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

FLAGS
  -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.
