NOTE: All the commands below are for the Interactive mode.
[cols=2, options="headers"]
|===
|Command
|Description
|*nslookup*
|Enter the interactive mode. The nslookup prompt `>` opens.
|*set all*
|Show current settings for the session, useful to show what the `nslookup` is actually going to do on the next query.
|*set ty=_Record-type-to-query-for_*
|Sets the record `type` you want to query. E.g. `set ty=MX` - all following queries will ask for MX record only, until changed again with `set ty=...`. Available types A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SOA, CNAME, etc. as per DNS protocol.
|*_domain_*
|Query the domain _domain_ for the value of the record type set previously via `set ty=...` or A record by default.
|*server [_IP-address-of-alternative-DNS-server_]*
a|Run by itself, `server` prints DNS server(s) currently set and used for resolving. Change the DNS server to query by specifying IP address of the server, e.g.
----
> server 8.8.8.8
Default server: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53
----
|*set debug/nodebug*
|Enable verbose output of what the `nslookup` is actually doing (*debug*), or disable *nodebug* (default). Shows what server is being queried, additional records, whether the server is authoritative or not.
|*IDN_DISABLE*
a|Environment variable, if not set (default) enables querying IDN names, e.g.:
----
> set ty=A
> рег.рф
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53
------------
QUESTIONS:
рег.рф, type = A, class = IN
ANSWERS:
-> рег.рф
internet address = 194.58.116.37
ttl = 21600

ADDITIONAL RECORDS:
------------
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: рег.рф
Address: 194.58.116.37
----
|*set port=_N_*
|Set port different from 53 on the remote DNS server. NOTE: `nslookup` does NOT support DOT/DOH protocols, only plain old clear text DNS.
|*exit*
|Leave `nslookup` interactive mode to the command line of terminal.
|WINDOWS only:
*ls -d* _domain-name_
|Try to do AXFR zone transfer from the configured DNS server. If works and unintended - serious security risk. Linux version of nslookup does NOT have this option. E.g. `ls -d yurisk.info`.
