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).
