The Network Information Service (NIS) is used for the administration of network-wide databases. The service is composed mainly of two programs: YPBINDPROG for finding a NIS server and YPPROG for accessing the NIS databases.
Refer to ypclnt.3n for information on the programmatic interface to NIS servers and databases.
The Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP). The functionality of the two remains the same; only the name has changed. The name Yellow Pages is a registered trademark in the United Kingdom of British Telecommunications plc, and may not be used without permission.
