# NAME

`ypxfr` —
get a NIS map from NIS server

# SYNOPSIS

`ypxfr` | [`-cf`] [`-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:

`-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 communication 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.
