ypwhich(1N)                                                     ypwhich(1N)


   NAME
         ypwhich - return name of YP server or map master

   SYNOPSIS
         ypwhich [ -d [ ypdomain ] ] [ hostname ]
         ypwhich [ -d ypdomain ] -m [ mname ]

   DESCRIPTION
         ypwhich tells which YP server supplies the YP name services to a YP
         client, or which 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.

         Refer to ypfiles(4) and ypserv(1M) for an overview of the YP name
         services.

         The following options are available:

         -d [ypdomain]
               Use ypdomain instead of the default domain.

         -m mname
               Find the master YP server for a map. No hostname can be
               specified with -m.  mname can be a mapname, or a nickname for a
               map.  When mname is omitted, produce a list available maps.
