NAME
     ypmatch — print the values of one or more keys in a NIS database

SYNOPSIS
     ypmatch [-ktz] [-d domainname] key ... mapname
     ypmatch -x

DESCRIPTION
     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:

     -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.
