DESCRIPTION
       ypwhich  returns the name of the NIS server that supplies the NIS 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.

OPTIONS
       -d domain
              Specify a domain other than 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 the
              -m option.  mname can be a mapname or nickname for a map.  If mname is omit-
              ted, ypwhich will produce a list of available maps.

       -x     Display the map nickname translation table.

       -Vn    Version of ypbind(8), V2 is default.
