NAME
       ypmatch	- print values of selected keys in Network Information Service
       map

SYNOPSIS
       domain]

   Remarks
       The Network Information Service (NIS)  was  formerly  known  as	Yellow
       Pages  (YP).   Although	the name has changed, the functionality of the
       service remains the same.

DESCRIPTION
       prints the values associated with one or more keys in a Network	Infor‐
       mation Service (NIS) map specified by mname.  The mname can be either a
       mapname or a map nickname.  A map nickname is a synonym by which a  NIS
       map can be referenced.

       If  multiple keys are specified, the same map is searched for an occur‐
       rence of each key.  A match is made only when the case and length of  a
       key is the same as that stored in the database.	No pattern matching is
       available.  If a key is not matched, a diagnostic message is produced.

   Options
       recognizes the following command-line options:

	      Before printing the value associated with a key,
		      print the key followed by a colon This option is	useful
		      if the keys are not part of the values (as in a map), or
		      so many keys were specified that	the  output  could  be
		      confusing.

	      Inhibit the translation of a map's
		      nickname	to  its	 corresponding	mapname.  For example,
		      fails because there is no map named whereas,  is	trans‐
		      lated to

	      Specify a
		      domain  other  than the default domain, that is, the one
		      returned by (see domainname(1)).

	      Display the
		      nickname for each NIS map.
