AHOST(1)		     General Commands Manual			AHOST(1)

NAME
     ahost - print the A or AAAA record associated with a hostname or IP address

SYNOPSIS
     ahost [OPTION]... HOST...

DESCRIPTION
     Look  up the DNS A or AAAA record associated with HOST (a hostname or an IP
     address).

     This utility comes with the c-ares asynchronous resolver library.

OPTIONS
     -d     Print some extra debugging output.

     -h, -?
	    Display this help and exit.

     -t type
	    If type is "a", print the A record.  If type is  "aaaa",  print  the
	    AAAA  record.  If type is "u", look for both AAAA and A records (de-
	    fault).

     -s server
	    Set the server list to use for DNS lookups.

     -D domain
	    Specify the domain to search instead of  using  the  default  values
	    from
	    /etc/resolv.conf.  This  option only has an effect on platforms that
	    use
	    /etc/resolv.conf for DNS configuration; it has no  effect  on  other
	    platforms (such as Win32 or Android).
