YPWHICH(1)YPWHICH(1)NAMEypwhich - which host is the YP server or map master?
SYNOPSISypwhich [ -d [ domain ] ] [ -V1 | -V2 ] [ hostname ]
ypwhich [ -t mapname ] [ -d domain ] -m [ mname ]
ypwhich-x
DESCRIPTIONypwhich tells which YP server supplies yellow pages services to a YP
client, or which is the master for a map. If invoked without
arguments, it gives the YP server for the local machine. If hostname
is specified, that machine is queried to find out which YP master it is
using.
Refer to ypfiles(5) and ypserv(8) for an overview of the yellow pages.
OPTIONS-d Use domain instead of the default domain.
-V1 Which server is serving v.1 YP protocol-speaking client
processes?
-V2 Which server is serving v.2 YP protocol client processes?
If neither version is specified, ypwhich attempts attempts to
locate the server that supplies the (current) v.2 services. If
there is no v.2 server currently bound, ypwhich then attempts
to locate the server supplying the v.1 services. Since YP
servers and YP clients are both backward compatible, the user
need seldom be concerned about which version is currently in
use.
-t mapname
Inhibit nickname translation; useful if there is a mapname
identical to a nickname.
-m Find the master YP server for a map. No hostname can be
specified with -m. mname can be a mapname, or a nickname for a
map. When mname is omitted, produce a list available maps.
-x Display the map nickname table. This lists the nicknames
(mnames) the command knows of, and indicates the mapname
associated with each nickname.
