SYNOPSIS
       ypwhich [-d domain] [ [-t] -m [mname] | [-Vn] hostname]

       ypwhich -x


DESCRIPTION
       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.

OPTIONS
       -d domain
		    Use domain instead of the default domain.

       -t
		    This option inhibits map nickname translation.

       -m mname
		    Find  the master NIS 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 of avail‐
		    able maps.

       -x
		    Display the map nickname translation table.
