nslookup(1)
NAME
nslookup - DNS hostname lookup
SYNOPSIS
nslookup <hostname>
DESCRIPTION
Resolves a hostname to an IPv4 address using the configured
DNS server and prints the result.
The kernel DNS resolver sends a UDP query to port 53 of the
configured DNS server and waits up to 5 seconds for a reply.
Results are cached in an 8-entry kernel cache with TTL support.
OUTPUT
Server: 10.0.68.1
Name: example.com
Address: 93.184.216.34
Time: 3ms
If the lookup fails:
Could not resolve: badhost.invalid
DNS CONFIGURATION
The DNS server address is obtained automatically via DHCP.
It can also be viewed and set with ifconfig. The default
is 10.0.68.1 (QEMU user-mode networking).
EXAMPLES
nslookup google.com
nslookup icanhazip.com
