The yp_match subroutine searches for the value associated with a key. The input character string entered as the key must match a key in the Network Information Services (NIS) map exactly because pattern matching is not available in NIS.
Upon successful completion, this subroutine returns a value of 0. If unsuccessful, it returns one of the error codes described in the rpcsvc/yp_prot.h file.
This subroutine is part of Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
