YPWHICH(1)                 OpenBSD Reference Manual                 YPWHICH(1)

NAME
     ypwhich - return hostname of YP server or map master

SYNOPSIS
     ypwhich [-t] [-d domain] [[-h] host]
     ypwhich [-t] [-d domain] [-h host] -m [mname]
     ypwhich -x

DESCRIPTION
     ypwhich tells which YP server supplies YP services to a client, or which
     is the master for a map.  If invoked without arguments, it gives the YP
     server for the local machine.  If host is specified, that machine is
     queried to find out which YP server it is using.

     The options are as follows:

     -d domain
             Specify a domain other than the default domain.

     -h host
             Specify which host to query.

     -m [mname]
             Find the master YP server for the named map.  The host to query,
             if non-default, must be specified using the -h option.  mname can
             be a map name or nickname.  If mname is omitted, ypwhich will
             produce a list of available maps.

     -t      Inhibit translation of map nicknames to their corresponding map
             names.

     -x      Display the map nickname table.
