40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41Files in
42.Nm
43format are rare.
44One lives in the
45.Tn YP
46map
47.Pa netid.byname .
48The format is rather simple.
49Each row consists of two items: a key and a value.
50When created by
51.Xr mknetid 8
52there are three types of records.
53.Pp
54The first type is information about which GIDs a UID has:
55.Pp
56.Sm off
57.Li unix . Ao Ar uid Ac @ Aq Ar yp-domain
58.Sm on
59.Sm off
60.Ao Ar uid Ac : Ao Ar gid Ac , Aq Ar gid
61.Sm on
62.Pp
63The second type contains information about hosts:
64.Pp
65.Sm off
66.Li unix . Ao Ar hostname Ac @ Aq Ar yp-domain
67.Sm on
68.Sm off
69.Li 0 : Aq Ar hostname
70.Sm on
71.Pp
72The third type refers to records from a
73.Nm
74file other than the two types above.
