NAME

       ypwhich - return name of NIS server or map master

SYNOPSIS

       ypwhich [ -d domain ] [ -Vn ] [ hostname ]
       ypwhich [ -d domain ] [ -t ] -m [ mname ]
       ypwhich -x

DESCRIPTION

       ypwhich	returns  the  name of the NIS server that supplies the NIS services to a NIS client, or which is the master for a map.	If invoked
       without arguments, it gives the NIS server for the local machine. If hostname is specified, that machine is queried to find out	which  NIS
       master it is using.

OPTIONS

       -d domain
	      Specify a domain other than the default domain.

       -t     This option inhibits map nickname translation.

       -m mname
	      Find  the  master  NIS server for a map.	No hostname can be specified with the -m option.  mname can be a mapname or nickname for a
	      map.  If mname is omitted, ypwhich will produce a list of available maps.

       -x     Display the map nickname translation table.

       -Vn    Version of ypbind(8), V2 is default.

FILES

       /var/yp/nicknames
