<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
|
|
<para><command>Nslookup</command>
|
|
is a program to query Internet domain name servers. <command>Nslookup</command>
|
|
has two modes: interactive and non-interactive. Interactive mode allows
|
|
the user to query name servers for information about various hosts and
|
|
domains or to print a list of hosts in a domain. Non-interactive mode
|
|
is
|
|
used to print just the name and requested information for a host or
|
|
domain.
|
|

|
|
<title>ARGUMENTS</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Interactive mode is entered in the following cases:
|
|
<orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>
|
|
when no arguments are given (the default name server will be used)
|
|
</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>
|
|
when the first argument is a hyphen (-) and the second argument is
|
|
the host name or Internet address of a name server.
|
|
</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</orderedlist>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Non-interactive mode is used when the name or Internet address of the
|
|
host to be looked up is given as the first argument. The optional second
|
|
argument specifies the host name or address of a name server.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Options can also be specified on the command line if they precede the
|
|
arguments and are prefixed with a hyphen. For example, to
|
|
change the default query type to host information, and the initial
|
|
timeout to 10 seconds, type:
|
|
<informalexample>
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
nslookup -query=hinfo -timeout=10
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</informalexample>
|
|
</para>

<para>
|
|
Look up information for host using the current default server or
|
|
using server, if specified. If host is an Internet address and
|
|
the query type is A or PTR, the name of the host is returned.
|
|
If host is a name and does not have a trailing period, the
|
|
search list is used to qualify the name.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
To look up a host not in the current domain, append a period to
|
|
the name.
