The optional second argument specifies +the host name or address of a name server. +.Pp +The options listed under the +.Dq Li set +command below can be specified in +the +.Pa .nslookuprc +file in the user's home directory if they are listed +one per line. 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: +.Bd -literal -offset indent + nslookup -query=hinfo -timeout=10 +.Ed +.Sh INTERACTIVE COMMANDS +Commands may be interrupted at any time by typing a control-C. +To exit, type a control-D +.Pq Dv EOF +or type +.Li exit . +The command line length must be less than 256 characters. +To treat a built-in command as a host name, +precede it with an escape character +.Pq .&\\ . +.Sy N.B.: An unrecognized command will be interpreted as a host name. +.Bl -tag -width "lserver" +.It Ar host Op Ar server +Look up information for +.Ar host +using the current default server or using +.Ar server , +if specified. +If +.Ar host +is an Internet address and the query type is +.Dv A +or +.Dv PTR , +the name of the host is returned. +If +.Ar host +is a name and does not have a trailing period, the default +domain name is appended to the name.
