+.SH "NAME"
+nslookup \- query Internet name servers interactively
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.HP \w'\fBnslookup\fR\ 'u
+\fBnslookup\fR [\fB\-option\fR] [name\ |\ \-] [server]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBNslookup\fR
+is a program to query Internet domain name servers\&.
+\fBNslookup\fR
+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\&.
+.SH "ARGUMENTS"
+.PP
+Interactive mode is entered in the following cases:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.ie n \{\
+\h'-04' 1.\h'+01'\c
+.\}
+.el \{\
+.sp -1
+.IP " 1." 4.2
+.\}
+when no arguments are given (the default name server will be used)
+.RE
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.ie n \{\
+\h'-04' 2.\h'+01'\c
+.\}
+.el \{\
+.sp -1
+.IP " 2." 4.2
+.\}
+when the first argument is a hyphen (\-) and the second argument is the host name or Internet address of a name server\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+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\&.
+.PP
+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:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+nslookup \-query=hinfo \-timeout=10
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.PP
+The
+\fB\-version\fR
+option causes
+\fBnslookup\fR
+to print the version number and immediately exits\&.
+.SH "INTERACTIVE COMMANDS"
+.PP
+\fBhost\fR [server]
+.RS 4
+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\&.
+.sp
+To look up a host not in the current domain, append a period to the name\&.

+.PP
+\fBlserver\fR \fIdomain\fR

+Change the default server to

+\fBlserver\fR
+uses the initial server to look up information about
+\fIdomain\fR, while
+\fBserver\fR
+uses the current default server\&. If an authoritative answer can\*(Aqt be found, the names of servers that might have the answer are returned\&.
