Yes, thanx to all of you and your answers.. I'm just a dig user now, but.. The question now is: - if i want to implement /usr/share/misc/nslookup.help in nslookup (even if nslookup is evil) how can i do that? I need to know, i want learn this "fact" i will not use nslookup anymore, but i'm still curios HOW was implemented on older STABLE-5.5 Thanx again :-) > To: rwatson@FreeBSD.org > CC: koitsu@FreeBSD.org; xernet@hotmail.it; freebsd-stable@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: stable 7.0 and nslookup help command > Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2008 15:44:22 -0700 > From: oberman@es.net > > More importantly, dig(1) uses the standard resolver routines while > nslookup has its own.
