+<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+<para>
+<command>Nslookup</command>
+is a program to query Internet domain name servers. <command>Nslookup</command>
+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 is
+used to print just the name and requested information for a host or
+domain.
+</para>
+</refsect1>
+
+<refsect1>
+<title>ARGUMENTS</title>
+<para>
+Interactive mode is entered in the following cases:
+<OrderedList Numeration=Loweralpha>
+<Listitem>
+<para>
+when no arguments are given (the default name server will be used)
+</para>
+</Listitem>
+<Listitem>
+<para>
+when the first argument is a hyphen (-) and the second argument is
+the host name or Internet address of a name server.
+</para>
+</Listitem>
+</OrderedList>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+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 second
+argument specifies the host name or address of a name server.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+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, and the initial timeout to 10 seconds, type:
+<InformalExample>
+<PROGRAMLISTING>
+nslookup -query=hinfo -timeout=10
+</PROGRAMLISTING>
+</InformalExample>
