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. + </para> + </refsect1> + + <refsect1> + <title>ARGUMENTS</title> + <para> + Interactive mode is entered in the following cases: + <orderedlist numeration="loweralpha"> + <listitem> + <para> + when no arguments are given (the default name server will be used) + </para> + </listitem> + <listitem> + <para> + when the first argument is a hyphen (-) and the second argument is + the host name or Internet address of a name server. + </para> + </listitem> + </orderedlist> + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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: + <informalexample> + <programlisting> +nslookup -query=hinfo -timeout=10 +</programlisting> + </informalexample> + </para> + + </refsect1> + + <refsect1> + <title>INTERACTIVE COMMANDS</title> + <variablelist> + <varlistentry> + <term><constant>host</constant> <optional>server</optional></term> + <listitem> + <para> + Look up information for host using the current default server or + using server, if specified.
