NAME
     yppoll -- ask version of NIS map from NIS server

SYNOPSIS
     yppoll [-d domain] [-h host] mapname

     master server for mapname.

     The options are as follows:

     -d domain
	     Use the NIS domain domain instead of the default domain as returned
	     by domainname(1).

     -h host
	     Ask  the  NIS  server process running on host for information about
	     mapname.  If host is not specified, the server polled  is	the  de-
	     fault server returned by ypwhich(1).
