SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION SEE ALSO AUTHORS

yppoll [-d domain] [-h host] mapname

yppoll asks a NIS server process for the order number and which host is the master server for mapname.

The options are as follows:

-d domain
	Use the NIS domain domain instead of the default domain as returned by domainname(1).
-h host
	Ask the NIS server process running on host for information about mapname. If host is not specified, the server polled is the default server returned by ypwhich(1).
