NAME
      ypmatch - print the value of one or more keys from a NIS map
 


SYNOPSIS
      ypmatch [ -k ]  [ -t ]  [ -d domain ]   key   [  key  ...  ]
      mname
 
      ypmatch -x
 


DESCRIPTION
      ypmatch prints the values associated with one or  more  keys
      from  the  NIS's name services map specified by mname, which
      may be either a map name or a map nickname.
 
      Multiple keys can be specified; all keys  will  be  searched
      for  in  the  same  map.  The keys must be the same case and
      length. No pattern matching is available. If a  key  is  not
      matched, a diagnostic message is produced.
 


OPTIONS
      The following options are supported:
 
      -k    Before printing the value of  a  key,  print  the  key
            itself, followed by a colon (:).
 
      -t    Inhibit map nickname translation.
 
      -d domain
            Specify a domain other than the default domain.
 
      -x    Display the map nickname table. This lists  the  nick-
            names the command knows of, and indicates the map name
            associated with each nickname.
