NAME
     ypwhich -- return hostname of NIS server of map master

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

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

     The options are as follows:

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

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

     -m [mname]
	     Find the master NIS server for the named map.  No host may be spec-
	     ified  with the -m option.  The mname argument can be a map name or
	     nickname.	If mname is omitted, ypwhich  will  produce  a	list  of
	     available maps.

     -x      Display the map nickname table.
