NAME
ypwhich - return name of YP server or map master
SYNOPSIS
ypwhich [ -d [ ypdomain ] ] [ hostname ] ypwhich [ -d ypdomain ] -m [ mname ]
DESCRIPTION
ypwhich tells which YP server supplies the YP name services to a YP client, or which 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. Refer to ypfiles(4) and ypserv(1M) for an overview of the YP name services. The following options are available:
-d [ypdomain]
Use ypdomain instead of the default domain.
-m mname
Find the master YP server for a map. No hostname can be specified with -m. mname can be a mapname, or a nickname for a map. When mname is omitted, produce a list available maps.
