YPPOLL(8)							     YPPOLL(8)

NAME
       yppoll - what version of a YP map is at a YP server host

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/etc/yp/yppoll [ -h host ] [ -d domain ] mapname

DESCRIPTION
       yppoll  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.

SEE ALSO
       ypserv(8), ypfiles(5)
