stable 7.0 and nslookup help command
Hello to anyone. I'm a FreeBSD user, i'm still a new bee but i still keep to learning. Anyway, here is my question: I use a FreeBSD STABLE-7 not installed by me, in this installation nslookup works very good and the "?" or "help" command working properly, infact the every time i recall the command "?" or "help" nslookup show me the file "nslookup.help" in /usr/share/misc. Now, i did installed (by me) e STABLE-7 and i don't understand why the "?" command is not implemented on nslookup, also the file "nslookup.help" doen't exist. How can i implement this feature on my fresh STABLE-7 install ?

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: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; freebsd-stable@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: stable 7.0 and nslookup help command > Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2008 15:44:22 -0700 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > More importantly, dig(1) uses the standard resolver routines while > nslookup has its own.
