NAME
       yppoll - determine which version of a Network Information Service (NIS)
       map is at a master NIS server host

SYNOPSIS
       yppoll [-h host] [-d domain] mapname

OPTIONS
       Ask the ypserv process at host about the map parameters	(order	number
       and  master  server  for	 the  map).  If host is not specified, the NIS
       server for the local host is used. That is, the default host is the one
       returned by ypwhich(1).	Use domain instead of the default domain.

DESCRIPTION
       The  yppoll command asks a ypserv process for the domain, order number,
       and master NIS server (also known as map	 parameters)  associated  with
       the  named map. If the server is a v.1 NIS protocol server, yppoll uses
       the older protocol to communicate with ypserv and uses the older	 diag‐
       nostic messages if a failure occurs.
