1. (Naut.) A vessel having one mast and fore-and-aft rig,
consisting of a boom-and-gaff mainsail, jibs, staysail,
and gaff topsail. The typical sloop has a fixed bowsprit,
topmast, and standing rigging, while those of a cutter are
capable of being readily shifted. The sloop usually
carries a centerboard, and depends for stability upon
breadth of beam rather than depth of keel. The two types
have rapidly approximated since 1880. One radical
distinction is that a sloop may carry a centerboard. See
Cutter, and Illustration in Appendix.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Naut.) In modern usage, a sailing vessel having one mast,
commonly with a Bermuda rig, with either a center-board or
a keel. In the United States, a sloop may have one or two
headsails, while in Western Europe and Great Britain a
sloop has only one headsail.
[RDH]
Sloop of war, formerly, a vessel of war rigged either as a
ship, brig, or schooner, and mounting from ten to
thirty-two guns; now, any war vessel larger than a
gunboat, and carrying guns on one deck only.

nslookup
(foldoc) | nslookup
A Unix utility program, originally by Andrew
Cherenson, for querying Internet domain name servers. The
basic use is to find the IP address corresponding to a
given hostname (or vice versa). By changing the query type
(e.g. "set type=CNAME") other types of information can be
obtained including CNAME - the canonical name for an alias;
HINFO - the host CPU and operating system type; MINFO -
mailbox or mail list information; MX - mail exchanger
information; NS - the name server for the named zone; PTR -
the hostname if the query is an IP address, otherwise
the pointer to other information; SOA the domain's
start-of-authority information; TXT - text information; UINFO
- user information; WKS - supported well-known services.
Other types (ANY, AXFR, MB, MD, MF, NULL) are described in
RFC 1035.
