Name
       yppoll - determine which version of a yellow pages (YP) map is at a master YP server host.

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

Description
       The  command  asks a process what the order number is, and which host is the master YP server for the named map.  If the server is a v.1 YP
       protocol server, uses the older protocol to communicate with and uses the older diagnostic messages if a failure occurs.

Options
       -h host
	      Ask the process at host about the map parameters.  If host is not specified, the YP server for the local host is used.  That is, the
	      default host is the one returned by

       -d domain
	      Use domain instead of the default domain.
