41.Op Fl f
42.Op Fl c

49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52utility copies an
53.Tn NIS
54database (or
55.Pa map )
56from one
57.Tn NIS
58server to another using
59.Tn NIS
60services. In
61.Fx ,
62.Nm
63is generally invoked by
64.Xr ypserv 8
65when it receives a map transfer request from
66.Xr yppush 8 .
67The
68.Nm
69utility is used primarily in environments where several
70.Tn NIS
71servers are in use in a single domain. One server, the
72.Tn NIS
73master, maintains
74the canonical copies of all
75.Tn NIS
76maps, and all the other servers,
77the
--- 79 unchanged lines hidden (view full) ---
157server. This protocol allows it to transfer raw map database files from
158the
159.Tn NIS
160master server and can be many times faster than the standard
161transfer method, particularly for very large
162.Tn NIS
163maps. The
164.Nm
165utility will check to see if the
166.Xr rpc.ypxfrd 8
167server is registered on the
168.Tn NIS
169master server and attempt to use
170it if it is present. If it isn't it will fall back to the standard
171transfer method, copying the map contents from
172.Xr ypserv 8
173and creating new maps instead.
