yppoll(1M)

NAME
     yppoll - show version of NIS map on NIS server

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

DESCRIPTION
     Yppoll asks a ypserv process what the order number is, and which host is
     the network information service (NIS) master server for the named map. If
     the server is a v.1 NIS protocol server, yppoll uses the older protocol
     to communicate with it.  In this case, it also uses the older diagnostic
     messages in case of failure.

OPTIONS
     -h host   Ask the ypserv process at host about the map parameters.  If
               host isn't specified, the NIS server for the local host is
               used.  That is, the default host is the one returned by
               ypwhich(1M).

     -d domain Use domain instead of the default domain.
