nshost  - generate host tables from the name server
usage: nshost [ -f file ... ] [ -d domain ... [ -s server ] ] [ -o output-file ]  [-r ]



DESCRIPTION
     The nshost command converts host and address information from name server
     configuration files (see named) or from running name server(s) into the
     /etc/hosts format (see hosts) or into the /etc/named.rev (reverse pointer
     records) format.

OPTIONS
     -f file   Search the file for Standard Resource Records specifying
               addresses (A) or aliases (CNAME); these are then written to the
               standard output or to the output-file specified by the -o
               option.  You may specify more than one -f option.

     -d domain Query a running name server for the specified domain
               (determined by looking in the file /etc/resolv.conf, which
               lists one or more servers per domain).  You may specify more
               than one -d option.  See the -s option.

     -s server Specify alternate servers.  You may specify up to three servers
               per domain; this number includes those servers listed in the
               resolv.conf file and those servers specified on the command
               line by the -s option. If used, the -s option must always
               follow the -d option.

     -o output-file
               Write the converted host and address information to the
               specified output-file.

     -r        Request the /etc/named.rev (reverse pointer records) format.
