YPWHICH(8)YPWHICH(8)NAMEypwhich - what machine is the YP server?
SYNOPSISypwhich [ -d domainname ] [ hostname ]
ypwhich [ -d domainname ] [ -t ] -m [ mname ]
DESCRIPTION
Ypwhich tells which YP server supplies yellow pages to a YP client, and
which YP server is the master for a map. If invoked without arguments,
it gives the YP server for the local machine. If hostname is
specified, that machine is queried to find out which YP master it is
using.
If the -m switch is used without mname, a list of every map in the
domain and the master of each will be printed. If mname is specified,
only the master YP server for that map is printed. Mname may be a
mapname, or a nickname for a mapname. Mapnames and nicknames are
described in ypcat(1).
OPTIONS-d Domainname specifies the name of a YP domain. The default is
the default domain for the local machine.
-m Find the master YP server for a map, or for all maps in a
domain. No hostname may be specified with -m.
-t Inhibit nickname translation; useful if there is a mapname
identical to a nickname.
