- Supports verbose mode for advanced metadata and accepts both FQDN and raw IP addresses.
- Installation options include downloading binaries, using package managers (rpm, dnf, yum, apt), or building from source.
- Example commands demonstrate querying servers, using IPv6, verbose output, JSON format, and comparing multiple servers.
- Output formats include detailed human-readable and structured JSON data.
