yppoll(1M)                                                       yppoll(1M)


   NAME
         yppoll - return current version of a YP map at a YP server host

   SYNOPSIS
         /usr/sbin/yppoll [ -d ypdomain ] [ -h host ] mapname

   DESCRIPTION
         The yppoll command asks a ypserv(1M) process what the order number
         is, and which host is the master YP server for the named map.

         The following options are available:

         -d ypdomain
               Use ypdomain instead of the default domain.

         -h host
               Ask the ypserv process at host about the map parameters.  If
               host is not specified, the YP server for the local host is
               used.  That is, the default host is the one returned by
               ypwhich(1).
