NAME
 yppoll — ask version of NIS map from NIS server
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
 yppoll asks a NIS server process for the order number and which host is the master server for 
mapname.

- 
Use TCP protocol instead of UDP for request if the -h option is present.

Ask the NIS server process running on host for information about mapname. If host is not specified, the server polled is the default server returned by ypwhich(1).
- 
-d domain
- 
Use the NIS domain domain instead of the default domain as returned by domainname(1).
