But not strictly a DNS lookup tool:

That's from my /etc/hosts file, and overrides DNS. I didn't see an
option in the manpage to ignore /etc/hosts.
getent -s dns hosts zircon
However /etc/resolv.conf may point to local systemd-resolved server or
to dnsmasq started by NetworkManager and they read /etc/hosts by default.
Ah, thanks. But I don't feel too bad about not finding that ...
'service' is not defined in that file, 'dns' doesn't occur, and
searching for 'hosts' doesn't give anything useful either. I guess
reading nsswitch.conf(5) is required.
Thanks,
Richard
