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

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

DESCRIPTION
     The ypwhich utility 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.

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

     -m [mname]
	     Find the master YP server for the named map.  No host may be speci-
	     fied  with the -m option.	Mname 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.
