arpaname: Translate IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) to the corresponding ARPA name.
$ arpaname ${ip_address}
try on your machine
The command "arpaname ${ip_address}" is used to identify the hostname or the reverse DNS (Domain Name System) lookup of a given IP address.
Here's the breakdown of the command:
-
"arpaname": It is the name of the command or the utility that is being executed. It is designed to perform the reverse DNS lookup.
-
"${ip_address}": It is a placeholder or variable that represents the IP address you want to look up. You need to replace "${ip_address}" with the actual IP address you want to identify.
When you run this command with a specific IP address, it will query the DNS server responsible for reverse DNS lookups and provide you with the corresponding hostname or domain name associated with that IP address.
