     NAME
          ypwhich - which machines are the YP server and master?

     SYNOPSIS
          ypwhich [-ddomainname] [hostname]
          ypwhich [-ddomainname] [-t] -m [mname]

     DESCRIPTION
          ypwhich tells which YP server supplies yellow pages to a YP
          client, and which YP server is the master for a map.  If
          invoked without arguments, it gives the YP server for the
          local machine.  If hostname is specified, that machine is
          queried to find out which YP master it is using.

          If the -m switch is used without mname, a list of every map
          in the domain and the master of each will be printed.  If
          mname is specified, only the master YP server for that map
          is printed.  mname may be a mapname, or a nickname for a
          mapname. Mapnames and nicknames are described in ypcat(1M).

     OPTIONS
          -d   domainname specifies the name of a YP domain.  The
               default is the default domain for the local machine.

          -m   Find the master YP server for a map, or for all maps in
               a domain.  No hostname may be specified with -m.

          -t   Inhibit nickname translation; useful if there is a
               mapname identical to a nickname.  This is not true of
               any Sun-supplied map.
