- To build nslook, type "make" on BSD Systems or "make sysv" on System V.
- It is tested on ISC 386/ix (sysv), BSD 4.3 and SunOS 4.1.1.
-
- I don't know anything about other systems, but:
- If ld complains about missing gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, and
- h_errno, you probably have to link with libresolv.a or some other
- library containing these, if you have it.
-
- nslook is a simple form of nslookup. It only gives you what you want
- to see: The IP address of a host, or the hostname of an IP address.
-
- Usage: nslook [-l] hostname
- to give you an IP address from a name
- nslook [-l] -a IP-address
- to give you a name from an IP address
-
- The flag "-l" gives a long output.
-
