DESCRIPTION
ypwhich returns the name of the NIS server that supplies the NIS ser-
vices 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.
OPTIONS
-d domain

-t This option inhibits map nickname translation.
-m mname
Find the master NIS server for a map. No hostname can be speci-
fied with the -m option. mname can be a mapname or nickname for
a map. If mname is omitted, ypwhich will produce a list of
available maps.
-x Display the map nickname translation table.
-Vn Version of ypbind(8), V2 is default.
