host
host [options]  name [server]
System administration command. Print information about hosts or zones in DNS. Hosts may be IP addresses or hostnames; host
converts IP addresses to hostnames by default and appends the local
domain to hosts without a trailing dot. Default servers are determined
in /etc/resolv.conf. For more information about hosts and zones, read Chapters 1 and 2 of DNS and BIND (O'Reilly).
Options
-a
Same as -t ANY.
-c class
Search for specified resource record class (IN, CH, CHAOS, HS, HESIOD, or ANY). Default is IN.
-d
Verbose output. Same as -v.
-l
List mode. This also performs a zone transfer for the named zone. Same as -t AXFR.
-n
Perform reverse lookups for IPv6 addresses using IP6.INT domain and "nibble" labels instead of IP6.ARPA and binary labels.
-r
Do not ask contacted server to query other servers, but require only the information that it has cached.
-t type
Look for type entries in the resource record. type may be any recognized query type, such as A, AXFR, CNAME, NS, SOA, SIG, or ANY. If name is a hostname, host will look for A records by default. If name is an IPv4 or IPv6 address, it will look for PTR records.
-v
Verbose. Include all fields from resource
record, even time-to-live and class, as well as "additional
information" and "authoritative nameservers" (provided by the remote
nameserver).
-w
Never give up on queried server.
-C
Display SOA records from all authoritative nameservers for the specified zone.
-N n
Consider names with fewer than n dots in them to be relative. Search for them in the domains listed in the search and domain directives of /etc/resolv.conf. The default is usually 1.
-R n
Retry query a maximum of n times. The default is 1.
-T
Use TCP instead of UDP to query nameserver. This is implied in queries that require TCP, such as AXFR requests.
-W n
Wait a maximum of n seconds for reply.
