11 In this case it's in the description and hence easy to find (emerge -S would

13
14 # eix -S nslookup
15 [I] net-dns/bind-tools
16 Available versions: 9.2.5 9.2.6 9.2.6-r3 9.3.2 9.3.2-r3
17 Installed: 9.3.2-r3[17:04:32 30/10/06][-idn -ipv6]
18 Homepage: http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind9.html
19 Description: bind tools: dig, nslookup, and host
