yppoll(1M)                        ONC R4.11                       yppoll(1M)


NAME
       yppoll - what version of an NIS map is at an NIS server host

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/etc/yp/yppoll [ -h host ] [ -d domain ] mapname

DESCRIPTION
       Yppoll asks a ypserv(1M) process what the order number is, and which
       host is the master NIS server for the named map.  If the server is a
       v.1 NIS protocol server, yppoll uses the older protocol to
       communicate with it.  In this case, it also uses the older diagnostic
       messages in case of failure.

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

       -d domain Use domain instead of the default domain.

SEE ALSO
       ypserv(1M), ypwhich(1), ypfiles(4).
