ypxfr — get a NIS map from NIS server

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

ypxfr is the utility in NIS that transfers maps to the local host.

The options are as follows:

-c

Don't send a "Clear current map" to local ypserv process. Useful if ypserv isn't running locally to avoid timeout message.

-C tid prog ipadd port

This option is only used by ypserv. This is to open communication with yppush on another host.

-d domain

Don't use default domain, use the specified domain.

-f

Force map transfer, even if the master's version is older than the local copy.

-h host

Get map from host instead of the maps master host.

-s domain

Specify a source domain other than the target domain.
