resolveip: Silent mode. Produces less output.
$ resolveip --silent ${example-org}
try on your machine

The "resolveip --silent" command is a command-line tool used in Linux systems to resolve IP addresses. It attempts to find the IP address associated with a given hostname or domain name.

In this specific command, "${example-org}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with an actual hostname or domain name that you want to resolve to its corresponding IP address. For example, if you replace "${example-org}" with "www.google.com", the command would look like:

resolveip --silent www.google.com

Once you execute this command, it will query the DNS (Domain Name System) server to retrieve the IP address associated with "www.google.com". The "--silent" option is used to suppress any unnecessary output, providing you with only the IP address as the result.
