[1mNAME
     [0mypmatch - print the value of one or more keys from a network
     information service (NIS) map

[1mSYNOPSIS
     ypmatch [0m[ [1m-d [0m_d_o_m_a_i_n ] [ [1m-k [0m] [ [1m-t [0m] _k_e_y ...  _m_n_a_m_e
     [1mypmatch -x

DESCRIPTION
     [0mypmatch prints the values associated with one or more keys
     from the network information service (NIS) map  specified by
     a _m_n_a_m_e, which may be either a _m_a_p_n_a_m_e or an map _n_i_c_k_n_a_m_e.

     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 match-
     ing is available. If a key is not matched, a diagnostic mes-
     sage is produced.

[1mOPTIONS
     -d   [0mSpecify a domain other that the default domain.

     [1m-k   [0mBefore 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 confus-
	  ing.

     [1m-t   [0mInhibit translation of nickname to mapname.  For exam-
	  ple, _y_p_m_a_t_c_h -_t _z_i_p_p_y _p_a_s_s_w_d will fail because there is
	  no map named _p_a_s_s_w_d, while _y_p_m_a_t_c_h _z_i_p_p_y _p_a_s_s_w_d will be
	  translated to _y_p_m_a_t_c_h _z_i_p_p_y _p_a_s_s_w_d._b_y_n_a_m_e .

     [1m-x   [0mDisplay the map nickname table.  This lists the nick-
	  names (_m_n_a_m_e_s) the command knows of, and indicates the
	  _m_a_p_n_a_m_e associated with each nickname.
