-\modulesynopsis{Interface to Sun's NIS (Yellow Pages) library.}
-
-The \module{nis} module gives a thin wrapper around the NIS library, useful
-for central administration of several hosts.
-
-Because NIS exists only on \UNIX{} systems, this module is
-only available for \UNIX.
-
-The \module{nis} module defines the following functions:
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{match}{key, mapname[, domain=default_domain]}
-Return the match for \var{key} in map \var{mapname}, or raise an
-error (\exception{nis.error}) if there is none.
-Both should be strings, \var{key} is 8-bit clean.
-Return value is an arbitrary array of bytes (may contain \code{NULL}
-and other joys).
-
-Note that \var{mapname} is first checked if it is an alias to another
-name.
-
-\versionchanged[The \var{domain} argument allows to override
-the NIS domain used for the lookup. If unspecified, lookup is in the
-default NIS domain]{2.5}
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{cat}{mapname[, domain=default_domain]}
-Return a dictionary mapping \var{key} to \var{value} such that
-\code{match(\var{key}, \var{mapname})==\var{value}}.
-Note that both keys and values of the dictionary are arbitrary
-arrays of bytes.
-
-Note that \var{mapname} is first checked if it is an alias to another
-name.
-
-\versionchanged[The \var{domain} argument allows to override
-the NIS domain used for the lookup. If unspecified, lookup is in the
-default NIS domain]{2.5}
-\end{funcdesc}
-
- \begin{funcdesc}{maps}{[domain=default_domain]}
-Return a list of all valid maps.
-
-\versionchanged[The \var{domain} argument allows to override
-the NIS domain used for the lookup. If unspecified, lookup is in the
-default NIS domain]{2.5}
-\end{funcdesc}
-
- \begin{funcdesc}{get_default_domain}{}
-Return the system default NIS domain. \versionadded{2.5}
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-The \module{nis} module defines the following exception:
-
-\begin{excdesc}{error}
-An error raised when a NIS function returns an error code.
-\end{excdesc}
