ypwhich returns the name of
the NIS
server that supplies the NIS
name services to a NIS
client, or
which is the master for a map. If invoked without arguments, it gives the
NIS
server for the local machine. If hostname is specified, that machine
is queried to find out which NIS
master it is using.
Refer to ypfiles(4)
for an overview of the NIS
name services.
- -d domain
- Use domain
instead of the default domain.

server for a map. No hostname can be specified

produce a list of available maps.

table.
