NAME

       ypwhich - list which host is Network Information System server or map master

SYNOPSIS

       domain] [hostname]

       domain] [mname]]

   Remarks
       The  Network  Information  Service  (NIS) was formerly known as Yellow Pages (YP).  Although the name has changed, the functionality of the
       service remains the same.

DESCRIPTION

       lists the host name of the Network Information System (NIS) server that supplies NIS services to a NIS client.  It can also print  the  NIS
       server  that is the master for mname.  The mname can be either a mapname or a map nickname.  A map nickname is a synonym by which a NIS map
       can be referenced.

       If invoked without arguments, prints the host name of the NIS server serving the local machine.	If hostname is specified, that machine	is
       queried to determine which NIS server it is using.

   Options
       recognizes the following command-line options and arguments:

	      Specify a      domain other than the one returned by domainname(1).

	      Specify the version
			     (n) of which is to be queried.  Permitted values for n are 2 for V2 and 3 for V3.	V3 is the default.

	      Inhibit the translation of a map's
			     nickname  to  its corresponding mapname.  For example, fails because there is no map named whereas translates to This
			     option is useful if a mapname is identical to a nickname (which is not true of any HP map).

	      List the master NIS server for a map.
			     No hostname can be specified with The mname can be a mapname or a map nickname.  If mname is omitted, a complete list
			     of available maps and the corresponding host names of the master NIS servers is produced.

	      Display the    nickname for each NIS map.

WARNINGS

       Starting with ONCplus version B.11.31.02, the NIS Version 1 protocol is no longer available.
