NAME
yppoll -- get version of a YP map from YP server
SYNOPSIS
yppoll [-h host] [-d domainname] mapname
DESCRIPTION
yppoll is used to get information of a maps order number and master server. This utility is useful when determining if different servers
have the same version of a map. yppoll normally talks with the default ypserv(8) process, but by using the -h option it is possible to talk
with a specific server.
The options are as follows:
-d domain
Don't use default domain, use the specified domain.
-h host
Get map information from host instead of the default YP server.
