5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews      is a program to query Internet domain name servers.  <command>Nslookup</command>
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews      has two modes: interactive and non-interactive.  Interactive mode allows
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews      the user to query name servers for information about various hosts and
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews      domains or to print a list of hosts in a domain.  Non-interactive mode
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews      is
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews      used to print just the name and requested information for a host or
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews      domain.
