NAME
     yppoll -- ask version of YP map from YP server

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

DESCRIPTION
     The yppoll utility asks a YP server process for the order number and which host is the master server for mapname.

     The options are as follows:

     -h host
	     Ask the YP server process running on host for information about mapname.  If host is not specified, the server polled is the default
	     server returned by ypwhich(1).

     -d domain
	     Use the YP domain domain instead of the default domain as returned by domainname(1).
