YPPOLL(NADM) System V NFS (11/29/90) YPPOLL(NADM)
NAME
yppoll - what version of a NIS map is at a NIS server host
SYNOPSIS
yppoll [ -h host ] [ -d domain ] mapname
DESCRIPTION
yppoll asks a ypserv process for the order number and the
hostname of 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 isn't specified, the NIS server
for the local host is used. That is, the default host
is the one returned by ypwhich(NADM).
-d domain
Use domain instead of the default domain.
