NIS_TYPEMISMATCH
An attempt was made to add or modify an entry in a table, and the entry passed was
of a different type than the table.
ENVIRONMENT
NIS_PATH When set, this variable is the search path used by nis_list() if the flag
EXPAND_NAME is set.
WARNINGS
Use the flag HARD_LOOKUP carefully since it can cause the application to block indefinitely during a net-
work partition.
NOTES
The path used when the flag FOLLOW_PATH is specified, is the one present in the first table searched. The
path values in tables that are subsequentlysearched are ignored.
It is legal to call functions that would access the nameservice from within a list callback. However, calling a
function that would itself use a callback, or calling nis_list() with a callback from within a list call-
back function is not currently supported.
There are currently no known methods for nis_first_entry()
and nis_next_entry()
to get
their answers from only the master server.
