which host is
     the master server for mapname.

     The options are as follows:

     -h host
             Ask the YP server process running on host for information about
             mapname.  If  host  is  not  specified,  the  server
polled is the default
 server returned by ypwhich(1).

     -d domain

 by domainname(1).
