NAME
       ypwhich - what machine is the YP server?

SYNOPSIS
       ypwhich [ -d domainname ] [ hostname ]

       ypwhich [ -d domainname ] [ -t ] -m [ mname ]

DESCRIPTION
       Ypwhich tells which YP server supplies yellow pages to a YP client, and
       which YP server is the master for a map.	 If invoked without arguments,
       it  gives  the  YP  server  for	the  local  machine.   If  hostname is
       specified, that machine is queried to find out which YP	master	it  is
       using.

       If  the	-m  switch  is	used without mname, a list of every map in the
       domain and the master of each will be printed.  If mname is  specified,
       only  the  master  YP  server  for that map is printed.	Mname may be a
       mapname, or a nickname for  a  mapname.	 Mapnames  and	nicknames  are
       described in ypcat(1).

OPTIONS
       -d     Domainname  specifies  the  name of a YP domain.	The default is
	      the default domain for the local machine.

       -m     Find the master YP server for a  map,  or	 for  all  maps	 in  a
	      domain.  No hostname may be specified with -m.

       -t     Inhibit  nickname	 translation;  useful  if  there  is a mapname
	      identical to a nickname.
