Overview

Group 12 is intentionally narrow in the active reference set. Only 120 nslookup is live. Historical RPC ideas that appeared on older pages are not part of the current audited surface.

Live commands

Code	Name	Purpose
120	nslookup	Resolve a hostname or service record through a RAIDA.

120 — nslookup

nslookup lets a client ask a RAIDA to resolve a fully qualified domain name. Use it when the application wants RAIDA-mediated name lookup rather than direct local DNS.

Response layout

On success the response body returns the resolved address data for the requested record type. A typical A-record response is an IPv4 address plus port-like service data where the command family expects it.

Live surface note

This page intentionally documents only nslookup. Other historical Group 12 ideas remain out of the active navigation until they are part of the live audited dispatch table.
