.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX  "ypwhich command"  ""  "\fLypwhich\fP \(em who is yellow pages server"
.I Ypwhich
tells which YP server supplies yellow pages to a YP client,
and which YP server is the master for a map.
If invoked without arguments, it gives the YP server
for the local machine.  If
.I hostname
is specified, that machine is queried
to find out which YP master it is using.
.PP
If the
.B \-m
switch is used without \fImname\fP, a list of every map
in the domain and the master of each will be printed.  If
.I mname
is specified, only the master YP server for that map is printed.
.I Mname
may be a mapname, or a nickname for a mapname.  
Mapnames and nicknames are described in
.IR ypcat (1).
