Files in
format are rare.
One lives in the
YP
map
netid.byname
The format is rather simple.
Each row consists of two items: a key and a value.
When created by
mknetid(8)
there are three types of records.
The first type is information about which GIDs a UID has:
unix . Ao uid Ac @ Aq yp-domain
Ao Ar uid Ac : Ao Ar gid Ac , Aq Ar gid
The second type contains information about hosts:
unix . Ao hostname Ac @ Aq yp-domain0 : Aq hostname
The third type refers to records from a
file other than the two types above.
