38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39Files in
40.Nm
41format are rare.
42One lives in the
43.Tn YP
44map
45.Pa netid.byname .
46The format is rather simple.
47Each row consists of two items: a key and a value.
48When created by
49.Xr mknetid 8
50there are three types of records.
51.Pp
52The first type is information about which GIDs a UID has:
53.Pp
54.Sm off
55.Li unix . Ao Ar uid Ac @ Aq Ar yp-domain
56.Sm on
57.Sm off
58.Ao Ar uid Ac : Ao Ar gid Ac , Aq Ar gid
59.Sm on
60.Pp
61The second type contains information about hosts:
62.Pp
63.Sm off
64.Li unix . Ao Ar hostname Ac @ Aq Ar yp-domain
65.Sm on
66.Sm off
67.Li 0 : Aq Ar hostname
68.Sm on
69.Pp
70The third type refers to records from a
71.Nm
72file other than the two types above.
