yppoll(8) System Manager's Manual yppoll(8) 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 diagnostic messages if a failure occurs. SEE ALSO
