NAME
ypxfr -- get a NIS map from NIS server
SYNOPSIS
ypxfr [-bcf] [-C tid prog ipadd port] [-d domain] [-h host] [-s domain] mapname
DESCRIPTION
ypxfr is the utility in NIS that transfers maps to the local host. The options are as follows: -b Preserve the entry in the database informing a NIS server to use DNS to get information about unknown hosts. This option will only have effect on the maps hosts.byname and hosts.byaddr. -c Don't send a "Clear current map" to local ypserv process. Useful if ypserv isn't running locally to avoid timeout message. -C tid prog ipadd port This option is only used by ypserv. This is to open communica- tion with yppush on another host. -d domain Don't use default domain, use the specified domain. -f Force map transfer, even if the master's version is older than the local copy. -h host Get map from host instead of the maps master host. -s domain Specify a source domain other than the target domain.
