Description

gethost does hostname and IP lookups. It supports IPv6. It uses standard libraries and it doesn't necessarily use DNS resolver only. So it is useful for troubleshooting /etc/hosts, for example. gethost can also time each lookup to show the elapsed time in seconds. Multiple lookups can be done on one command-line.

Install

Binary package:

pkgin install gethost

From pkgsrc:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/net/gethost && make install clean
