NAME

ypcat — print the values of all keys in a NIS database

SYNOPSIS

ypcat

[-kst] [-d domainname] mapname

ypcat

-x

DESCRIPTION

ypcat prints out the values of all keys from the NIS database specified by mapname, which may be a map name or a map nickname.

The options are as follows:

-d domainname

Specify a domain other than the default domain.

-k

Display map keys. This option is useful with maps in which the values are null or the key is not part of the value.

-s

When printing the value of a key, compress all whitespace characters to a single space. Useful when values contain newlines.

-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).
