yppoll(8yp)
NAME
yppoll − determine which version of a YP map is at a master YP server host.
SYNTAX
yppoll [ -h host ] [ -d domain ] mapname
DESCRIPTION
The yppoll command 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 older protocol to communicate with ypserv and uses the older diagnostic messages if a failure occurs.
OPTIONS
−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(.).
−d domain
Use domain instead of the default domain.
