8d7e41661dc4633488e93b13363137523ce59977jose borrego is a program to query Internet domain name servers. <command>Nslookup</command>
7b59d02d2a384be9a08087b14defadd214b3c1ddjb has two modes: interactive and non-interactive. Interactive mode allows
29bd28862cfb8abbd3a0f0a4b17e08bbc3652836Alan Wright the user to query name servers for information about various hosts and
bbf6f00c25b6a2bed23c35eac6d62998ecdb338cJordan Brown domains or to print a list of hosts in a domain. Non-interactive mode
29bd28862cfb8abbd3a0f0a4b17e08bbc3652836Alan Wright used to print just the name and requested information for a host or

da6c28aaf62fa55f0fdb8004aa40f88f23bf53f0amw host to be looked up is given as the first argument. The optional second
da6c28aaf62fa55f0fdb8004aa40f88f23bf53f0amw argument specifies the host name or address of a name server.
da6c28aaf62fa55f0fdb8004aa40f88f23bf53f0amw Options can also be specified on the command line if they precede the
da6c28aaf62fa55f0fdb8004aa40f88f23bf53f0amw arguments and are prefixed with a hyphen. For example, to
