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  parame-
          ters.   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).
