host

DNS lookup

Syntax

host [-i] [-a] <hostname>

Description

Starts a DNS lookup for the <hostname> and prints the results in the current window.
The -i switch causes the command to execute in IpV6 mode (and lookup ONLY IpV6 hosts!).
The -a switch causes the command to run in "unspecified" mode and return any available address: IpV4 or Ipv6.
This command also performs reverse lookups (if you pass an IP address as <hostname>).

Examples

host localhost
host irc.flashnet.it
host -i irc.flashnet.it
host -i A0E0:FFFF:::1010:1111:E0E0:A0A0
host -a 127.0.0.1
host 255.41.31.23
host -a irc.stealth.net
