     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.
