ypxfr
is the utility in NIS that transfers maps to the
local host.
The options are as follows:
-c
- Don't send a "Clear current map" to local
ypserv
process. Useful if
ypserv
isn't running locally to avoid timeout
message.
-C
tid prog ipadd port
- This option is only used by
ypserv
. This is to
open communication with yppush
on another
host.
-d
domain
- Don't use default domain, use the specified domain.
-f
- Force map transfer, even if the master's version is older than the local
copy.
-h
host
- Get map from host instead of the maps master host.
-s
domain
- Specify a source domain other than the target domain.
