yppoll
asks a NIS server process for the order number
and which host is the master server for mapname.
The options are as follows:
-T
- Use TCP protocol instead of UDP for request if the
-h
option is present.
-h
host
- Ask the NIS server process running on host for
information about mapname. If
host is not specified, the server polled is the
default server returned by
ypwhich(1).
-d
domain
- Use the NIS domain domain instead of the default
domain as returned by
domainname(1).
