yppoll(1M)                       UNIX System V                       yppoll(1M)


NAME
      yppoll - return current version of the map at the NIS 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 NIS 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 NIS server for the local
                      host is used.  That is, the default host is the one
                      returned by ypwhich(1).
