+.Sh NAME
+.Nm yp_mkdb
+.Nd "generate the NIS databases"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm yp_mkdb
+.Fl u Ar dbname
+.Nm yp_mkdb
+.Op Fl i Ar inputfile
+.Op Fl o Ar outputfile
+.Op Fl m Ar mastername
+.Ar inputfile
+.Ar dbname
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm yp_mkdb
+creates
+.Xr db 3
+style databases for use with FreeBSD's NIS server.
+.Nm yp_mkdb
+reads data from
+.Nm inputfile ,
+and writes it to
+.Nm dbname
+in
+.Xr db 3
+format (using the hash table method).
+The input should be in 'key data' format, which is to say
+two fields of ASCII data separated by white space. The first field
+is assumed to be the key, and everything else is assumed to be
+the data.
+These databases are typically stored in
+.Nm /var/yp/[domainname]
+where
+.Nm domainname
+is the name of the NIS domain being served. 
+.Nm yp_mkdb
+is usually invoked by
+.Nm /var/yp/Makefile.
+.Nm yp_mkdb
+can also be used to dump an NIS database file so that its
+contents can be examined. For security reasons, all databases that
+.Nm yp_mkdb
+creates are readable and writable by owner only (and usually the
+owner is root).
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width flag
+.It Fl u Ar dbname
+.Pp
+Dump (or 'unwind') an NIS database. This option can be used to
+inspect the contents of an existing NIS database.
+.It Op Fl i Ar inputfile
+.Pp
+When generating an NIS map, encode
+.Nm inputfile
+as a special entry in the database with called
+.Nm YP_INPUT_FILE.
+.Pp
+.It Op Fl o Ar outputfile
+.Pp
+When generating an NIS map, encode
+.Nm outputfile
+as a special entry in the database with called
+.Nm YP_OUTPUT_FILE .
+.Pp
+.It Op Fl m Ar mastername
+.Pp
+When generating an NIS map encode
+.Nm mastername
+as a special entry in the database with called
+.Nm YP_MASTER_NAME .
+This entry in the database is frequently used by various NIS utilities
+to determine the name of an NIS master server for a domain. By default,
+.Nm yp_mkdb
+assumes that the local host is the NIS master; the
+.Ar m
+option is used to override this default.
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width Pa -compact
+.It Pa /var/yp/Makefile
+The Makefile that calls
+.Nm yp_mkdb
+to build the NIS databases.
