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

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

DESCRIPTION
       ypmatch	prints	the  values  associated with one or more keys from the
       yellow pages (YP) map  specified by a mname,  which  may	 be  either  a
       mapname or an map nickname.

       Multiple keys can be specified; the same map will be searched for all .
       The keys must be exact values insofar as capitalization and length  are
       concerned.  No pattern matching is available.  If a key is not matched,
       a diagnostic message is produced.

OPTIONS
       -d     Specify a domain other that the default domain.

       -k     Before printing the value	 of  a	key,  print  the  key  itself,
	      followed	by a colon (':').  This is useful only if the keys are
	      not duplicated in the values, or you've specified so  many  keys
	      that the output could be confusing.

       -t     Inhibit  translation  of	nickname  to  mapname.	 For  example,
	      ypmatch -t zippy passwd will fail because there is no map	 named
	      passwd, while ypmatch zippy passwd will be translated to ypmatch
	      zippy passwd.byname .

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