DESCRIPTION
ypwhich returns the name of the NIS server that supplies the NIS services to a NIS client, or which is the master for a map. If invoked
without arguments, it gives the NIS server for the local machine. If hostname is specified, that machine is queried to find out which NIS
master it is using.
OPTIONS -d domain

-t This option inhibits map nickname translation.

Find the master NIS server for a map. No hostname can be specified with the -m option. mname can be a mapname or nickname for a
map. If mname is omitted, ypwhich will produce a list of available maps.
-x Display the map nickname translation table.
