NAME
named-nzd2nzf - convert an NZD database to NZF text format
SYNOPSIS
named-nzd2nzf {filename}
DESCRIPTION
named-nzd2nzf converts an NZD database to NZF format and prints it to
standard output. This can be used to review the configuration of zones
that were added to named via rndc addzone. It can also be used to re-
store the old file format when rolling back from a newer version of
BIND to an older version.
ARGUMENTS

nslookup
Query Internet name servers interactively
root@kali:~# man nslookup
NSLOOKUP(1) BIND 9 NSLOOKUP(1)
NAME
nslookup - query Internet name servers interactively
SYNOPSIS
nslookup [-option] [name | -] [server]
DESCRIPTION
nslookup is a program to query Internet domain name servers. nslookup
has two modes: interactive and non-interactive. 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
prints just the name and requested information for a host or domain.
ARGUMENTS
Interactive mode is entered in the following cases:
a. when no arguments are given (the default name server is used);
b. when the first argument is a hyphen (-) and the second argument is
the host name or Internet address of a name server.
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 sec-
ond argument specifies the host name or address of a name server.
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, with an initial timeout of 10
seconds, type:
nslookup -query=hinfo -timeout=10
The -version option causes nslookup to print the version number and im-
mediately exit.
INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
host [server]
This command looks up information for host using the current de-
fault server or using server, if specified. If host is an Inter-
net address and the query type is A or PTR, the name of the host
is returned. If host is a name and does not have a trailing pe-
riod (.), the search list is used to qualify the name.
To look up a host not in the current domain, append a period to
the name.
server domain | lserver domain
These commands change the default server to domain; lserver uses
the initial server to look up information about domain, while
server uses the current default server. If an authoritative an-
swer cannot be found, the names of servers that might have the
answer are returned.
root This command is not implemented.
finger This command is not implemented.
ls This command is not implemented.
view This command is not implemented.
help This command is not implemented.
? This command is not implemented.
exit This command exits the program.
set keyword[=value]
This command is used to change state information that affects
the lookups. Valid keywords are:
all This keyword prints the current values of the frequently
used options to set. Information about the current de-
fault server and host is also printed.
class=value
This keyword changes the query class to one of:
IN the Internet class
CH the Chaos class
HS the Hesiod class
ANY wildcard
The class specifies the protocol group of the informa-
tion. The default is IN; the abbreviation for this key-
word is cl.
nodebug
This keyword turns on or off the display of the full re-
sponse packet, and any intermediate response packets,
when searching. The default for this keyword is nodebug;
the abbreviation for this keyword is [no]deb.
nod2 This keyword turns debugging mode on or off. This dis-
plays more about what nslookup is doing. The default is
nod2.
domain=name
This keyword sets the search list to name.
nosearch
If the lookup request contains at least one period, but
does not end with a trailing period, this keyword appends
the domain names in the domain search list to the request
until an answer is received. The default is search.
port=value
This keyword changes the default TCP/UDP name server port
to value from its default, port 53. The abbreviation for
this keyword is po.
querytype=value | type=value
This keyword changes the type of the information query to
value. The defaults are A and then AAAA; the abbrevia-
tions for these keywords are q and ty.
Please note that it is only possible to specify one query
type. Only the default behavior looks up both when an al-
ternative is not specified.
norecurse
This keyword tells the name server to query other servers
if it does not have the information. The default is re-
curse; the abbreviation for this keyword is [no]rec.
ndots=number
This keyword sets the number of dots (label separators)
in a domain that disables searching. Absolute names al-
ways stop searching.
retry=number
This keyword sets the number of retries to number.
timeout=number
This keyword changes the initial timeout interval to wait
for a reply to number, in seconds.
novc This keyword indicates that a virtual circuit should al-
ways be used when sending requests to the server. novc
is the default.
nofail This keyword tries the next nameserver if a nameserver
responds with SERVFAIL or a referral (nofail), or termi-
nates the query (fail) on such a response. The default is
nofail.
RETURN VALUES
nslookup returns with an exit status of 1 if any query failed, and 0
otherwise.
IDN SUPPORT
If nslookup has been built with IDN (internationalized domain name)
support, it can accept and display non-ASCII domain names. nslookup ap-
propriately converts character encoding of a domain name before sending
a request to a DNS server or displaying a reply from the server. To
turn off IDN support, define the IDN_DISABLE environment variable. IDN
support is disabled if the variable is set when nslookup runs, or when
the standard output is not a tty.
