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).
