Name
       ypwhich - determine which host is the current YP server or map master.

Syntax
       ypwhich [-d domain] [-V1] [-V2] [hostname]
       ypwhich [-d domain] [-m mname][-t]]
       ypwhich -x

Description
       The  command  identifies	 the  YP server that currently supplies yellow
       pages services to a YP client.  It also identifies which YP  server  is
       the  master  for a map.	If invoked without arguments, returns the host
       name of the YP server for the local machine.  If hostname is specified,
       checks that machine to find out which YP master it is using.

       Refer to and for an overview of the yellow pages.

Options
       -V1
	  Identifies  which  server is serving v.1 YP protocol-speaking client
	  processes.

       -V2
	  Identifies which server is serving v.2 YP  protocol-speaking	client
	  processes.

	  If  neither version is specified, attempts to locate the server that
	  supplies the current v.2 services.  If there is no v.2  server  cur‐
	  rently  bound,  attempts to locate the server supplying the v.1 ser‐
	  vices.  Since YP servers and YP clients are both  backward  compati‐
	  ble,	the  user need seldom be concerned about which version is cur‐
	  rently in use.

       -d Uses domain instead of the current domain.

       -m mname
	  Finds the master YP server for a map.	 No hostname can be  specified
	  with	-m.   The mname argument can be a mapname, or a nickname for a
	  map.

       -t Inhibits nickname translation and is useful if there	is  a  mapname
	  identical to a nickname.

       -x Displays  the	 map  nickname table.  This option lists the nicknames
	  (mnames) that the command knows of, and indicates the mapname	 asso‐
	  ciated with each nickname.
