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  ser-
      vices.
