====== Host ======
The ''host'' command is very similar to dig. However, the output is simpler and it will use the search domains in resolv.conf, whereas dig does not by default.


Example from [[https://serverfault.com/questions/501168/whats-the-difference-between-dig-and-host-when-querying-a-specific-name-ser|here]]


<code>$ host foo
foo.myfqdn.com has address 10.1.2.3

$ dig +short foo
# (no result)

$ dig +short +search foo
10.1.2.3</code>
