Searching Multiple Columns in NIS+

To search for entries with matches in two or more columns, use the following syntax:

nismatch [-h] [column=string, ... \
 column=string,...],tablename
nisgrep [-h] column=reg-exp ... \
 tablename

This example searches for entries whose second column has a value of SanFran and whose third column has a value of jhill:

rootmaster% nismatch -h [Site=SanFran,Name=jhill], depts.doc.com.
rootmaster% nisgrep -h Site=SanFran Name=jhill depts.doc.com.
