+database specified by
+.Ar database ,
+using the lookup order specified in
+.Xr nsswitch.conf 5 .
+The display format for a given
+.Ar database
+is as per the
+.Dq traditional
+file format for that database.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar database
+argument may be one of:
+.Pp
+.Bl -column ".Li netgroup" -offset indent -compact
+.Sy Database Ta Sy Display format
+.It Li ethers Ta address name
+.It Li group Ta group:passwd:gid:[member[,member]...]
+.It Li hosts Ta address name [alias ...]
+.It Li netgroup Ta (host,user,domain) [...]
+.It Li networks Ta name network [alias ...]
+.It Li passwd Ta user:passwd:uid:gid:gecos:home_dir:shell
+.It Li protocols Ta name protocol [alias ...]
+.It Li rpc Ta name number [alias ...]
+.It Li services Ta name port/protocol [alias ...]
+.It Li shells Ta /path/to/shell
+.It Li utmpx Ta [time] type: properties
+.El
+.Pp
+If one or more
+.Ar key
+arguments are provided, they will be looked up in
+.Ar database
+using the appropriate function.
+For example,
+.Dq Li passwd
+supports a numeric UID or user name;
+.Dq Li hosts
+supports an IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or host name;
+and
+.Dq Li services
+supports a service name, service name/protocol name, numeric port, or
+numeric port/protocol name.
+.Pp
+If no
+.Ar key
+is provided and
+.Ar database
+supports enumeration, all entries for
+.Ar database
+will be retrieved using the appropriate enumeration function and printed.
+.Sh EXIT STATUS

+.Nm
+utility exits 0 on success,
+1 if there was an error in the command syntax,
+2 if one of the specified key names was not found in
+.Ar database ,
+or 3 if there is no support for enumeration on
+.Ar database .
