ypmatch
prints out the values of one or more keys from
the NIS database specified by mapname, which may be a
map name or a map nickname.
The options are as follows:
-b
num_retry
- Do not wait infinite time for the ypserver to come up. Retry only the
specified number of times. See
yp_setbindtries(3)
for explanation. The valid range is limited from 0 to 65535 by this
program.
-d
domainname
- Specify a domain other than the default domain.
-k
- Print the map key followed by a colon, before printing key value. This
option is useful with maps in which the values are null or the key is not
part of the value.
-t
- Inhibit translation of map nicknames to their corresponding map
names.
-x
- Display the map nickname table, found in
/var/yp/nicknames. A built-in default translation
table is used if /var/yp/nicknames does not exist
(see nicknames(5) for
details).
-z
- Append a NUL character at the end of the key when doing the lookup. This
is useful for mail.aliases maps, which include a trailing NUL in the
keys.
