Nslookup +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. + + + + +ARGUMENTS + +Interactive mode is entered in the following cases: + + + +when no arguments are given (the default name server will be used) + + + + +when the first argument is a hyphen (-) and the second argument is +the host name or Internet address of a name server. + + + + + + +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. + + + +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: + + +nslookup -query=hinfo -timeout=10 + + + + + + + +INTERACTIVE COMMANDS + +host server + +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. + + + +To look up a host not in the current domain, append a period to +the name. + + +server domain + +lserver domain + +Change the default server to domain; lserver uses the initial +server to look up information about domain, while server uses +the current default server.
