yp_dump_binding(8)

💖 yp_dump_binding — dump binding files 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to yp_dump_binding(8) from the System Manager's Manual ✨ this one's short, sweet, and honestly kind of a vibe. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

yp_dump_binding — dump binding files 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

yp_dump+binding [ -d domain ][ -p path ][ -v version ]

yes, that plus sign in yp_dump+binding is literally what the page says. not me fixing it. it's giving typo but it's canon, so we keep it 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so yp_dump_binding prints out the content of the binding files sitting in /var/yp/binding for the matching domainname(8) 🎀

and before you get any big ideas: this tool is for debugging purposes. that's its whole job. that's its moment. it's a debugger's little helper, not your everyday main character 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -d domain — specify a domain other than the default domainname that domainname(8) hands you. want a different domain? say less, pass it here 👑
• -p path — specify an alternate path to the binding files. don't wanna hang out in /var/yp/binding? valid. point somewhere else 🧚
• -v version — display only the binding file of a specific protocol version. and by default? all versions get shown, no filter, no gatekeeping 🌈
