What is the equivalent of host hostname
from Linux in Windows?
For the people pointing me to how to change hostname in Windows, it is not about changing the computer's hostname, what I meant was:
$ host google.com
google.com has address 74.125.236.72
google.com has address 74.125.236.78
google.com has address 74.125.236.73
google.com has address 74.125.236.71
google.com has address 74.125.236.65
google.com has address 74.125.236.69
google.com has address 74.125.236.66
google.com has address 74.125.236.64
google.com has address 74.125.236.67
google.com has address 74.125.236.68
google.com has address 74.125.236.70
google.com has IPv6 address 2404:6800:4007:801::1004
google.com mail is handled by 10 aspmx.l.google.com.
google.com mail is handled by 20 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com.
google.com mail is handled by 30 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com.
google.com mail is handled by 40 alt3.aspmx.l.google.com.
google.com mail is handled by 50 alt4.aspmx.l.google.com.

host www.example.com
does the exact same thingnslookup
does. It most certainly doesn’t change your host name!
