44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45.Nm ypxfr
46is the utility in YP that transfers maps to the local host.
47.Pp
48Since the YP master transfers a map when it has changed, a YP slave should
49check for missed maps regularly.
50This can be done via an entry in
51.Xr crontab 5 .
52The scripts
53.Ar ypxfr_1perhour , ypxfr_2perday
54and
55.Ar ypxfr_1perday
56could be used for that.
57.Pp
58The options are as follows:
59.Bl -tag -width Ds
60.It Fl C Ar tid prog ipadd port
61This option is only used by ypserv.
62This is to open communication with a yppush on another host.
63.It Fl c
64Don't send a "Clear current map" to local ypserv process.
65Useful if ypserv isn't running locally to avoid timeout message.
66.It Fl d Ar domain
67Don't use default domain, use the specified domain.
68.It Fl f
69Force map transfer, even if version of master is older than local copy.
70.It Fl h Ar host
71Get map from host instead of the maps master host.
72.It Fl s Ar domain
73Specify a source domain other than the target domain.
