     NAME
          yppoll - what version of a YP map is at a YP server host

     SYNOPSIS
          yppoll [-h host] [-d domain] mapname

     DESCRIPTION
          yppoll asks a ypserv process what the order number is, and
          which host is the master YP server for the named map.  If
          the server is a v.1 YP protocol server, yppoll uses the old-
          er protocol to communciate with it.  In this case, it also
          uses the older diagnostic messages in case of failure.

     FLAG OPTIONS
          -h host
               Ask the ypserv process at host about the map parame-
               ters.  If host isn't specified, the YP server for the
               local host is used.  That is, the default host is the
               one returned by ypwhich(1M).  host may be specified ei-
               ther as a name or an Internet address of the form
               ww.xx.yy.zz.

          -d domain
               Use domain instead of the default domain.
