NAME
       yppoll - return current version of a NIS map at a NIS server host

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/yppoll [-d ypdomain] [-h host] mapname

DESCRIPTION
       The yppoll command asks a ypserv() process what the order number is, and which host is the master NIS server for the named map.

OPTIONS
       -d ypdomain             Use ypdomain instead of the default domain.

       -h host                 Ask  the  ypserv  process  at host about the map parameters. 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).
