NAME
yppoll - return current version of a YP map at a YP server host
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/yppoll [ -d ypdomain ] [ -h host ] mapname
DESCRIPTION
The yppoll command asks a ypserv(1M) process what the order number is, and which host is the master YP server for the named map. The following options are available:
-d ypdomain
Use ypdomain instead of the default domain.
-h host
Ask the ypserv process at host about the map parameters. If host is not specified, the YP server for the local host is used. That is, the default host is the one returned by ypwhich(1).
