YPPOLL(8)YPPOLL(8)NAMEyppoll - what version of a YP map is at a YP server host
SYNOPSIS
/usr/etc/yp/yppoll [ -h host ] [ -d domain ] mapname
DESCRIPTIONyppoll asks a ypserv process what the order number is, and which host
is the master YP server for the named map. If the server is a v.1 YP
protocol server, yppoll uses the older protocol to communciate 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 YP server for the local host is used.
That is, the default host is the one returned by ypwhich(8).
-d domain
Use domain instead of the default domain.
