📦 CLASSES

builtins.Exception(builtins.BaseException)

• error

🔹 class error (builtins.Exception)

Method resolution order:

• error
• builtins.Exception
• builtins.BaseException
• builtins.object

Data descriptors defined here:

• __weakref__ — list of weak references to the object (if defined)

---

Methods inherited from builtins.Exception:

• __init__(self, /, *args, **kwargs)
  Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

---

Static methods inherited from builtins.Exception:

• __new__(*args, **kwargs) from builtins.type
  Create and return a new object. See help(type) for accurate signature.

---

Methods inherited from builtins.BaseException:

• __delattr__(self, name, /)
  Implement delattr(self, name).
• __getattribute__(self, name, /)
  Return getattr(self, name).
• __reduce__(...)
  Helper for pickle.
• __repr__(self, /)
  Return repr(self).
• __setattr__(self, name, value, /)
  Implement setattr(self, name, value).
• __setstate__(...)
• __str__(self, /)
  Return str(self).
• with_traceback(...)
  Exception.with_traceback(tb) -- set self.__traceback__ to tb and return self.

🔧 FUNCTIONS

🐱 cat(map, domain = defaultdomain)

Returns the entire map as a dictionary. Optionally domain can be specified but it defaults to the system default domain.

🌐 get_default_domain() -> str

Corresponds to the C library yp_get_default_domain() call, returning the default NIS domain.

🗺️ maps(domain = defaultdomain)

Returns an array of all available NIS maps within a domain. If domain is not specified it defaults to the system default domain.

🔍 match(key, map, domain = defaultdomain)

Corresponds to the C library yp_match() call, returning the value of key in the given map. Optionally domain can be specified but it defaults to the system default domain.
