nsquery(1)							    nsquery(1)

Name
       nsquery - name server query command

Syntax
       /usr/ucb/nsquery [ lookup ] [ host ] [ server ]

Description
       The  command  provides  an  interface  to  obtain host name and address
       information.

       If you specify host, the command obtains information about  the	speci‐
       fied  host.  If	no  host is specified, the command obtains information
       about the local host system.

       If you specify server, the command queries the  BIND  server  that  you
       specify.	 If  you  do  not  specify  a  server, the command queries the
       default BIND server.

Options
       lookup  Retrieves the host name, Internet Protocol  (IP)	 address,  and
	       aliases	of the specified host.	If no host or server is speci‐
	       fied, the command obtains information about  the	 local	system
	       from the default BIND server.

	       If  you	do  specify the lookup option, the command obtains the
	       information about the BIND server and host specified (or	 their
	       defaults).  If the system from which you issue the command is a
	       BIND server, and you do not specify the lookup option, informa‐
	       tion about only that server is retrieved.
