NAME
     domainname - set or print name of current YP/NIS domain

SYNOPSIS
     domainname [ypdomain]

DESCRIPTION
     The domainname utility displays the name of the current YP/NIS domain.
     The super-user can set the domain name by supplying an argument; this is
     usually done in the network initialization script /etc/netstart, normally
     run at boot time.

NOTA BENE
     The YP/NIS (formerly ``Yellow Pages'' but renamed for legal reasons) do-
     main name does not necessarily have anything to do with the Domain Name
     System domain name, although they are often set equal for administrative
     convenience.
