nslookup: Query your system's default name server for an IP address (A record) of the domain.
$ nslookup ${example-com}
try on your machine

The command "nslookup" is a network administration command-line tool used to obtain information about IP addresses, hostnames, and various other domain-related information. In this case, the command "nslookup ${example-com}" is trying to resolve the IP address associated with the domain name "example.com".

The "${example-com}" is likely meant to represent a placeholder or variable. In reality, you should replace "${example-com}" with the actual domain name you want to perform the lookup for, like "nslookup example.com".

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
