NAME
       adig  -	print  information  collected  from  Domain  Name System (DNS)
       servers

SYNOPSIS
       adig [@server] [-c class] [-p port#] [-q	 name]	[-t  type]  [-x	 addr]
       [name] [type] [class] [queryopt...]

DESCRIPTION
       Send  queries to	DNS servers about name and print received information,
       where name is a valid  DNS  name	 (e.g.	www.example.com,  1.2.3.10.in-
       addr.arpa).

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

       It  is  possible	 to  specify default arguments for adig	via ${XDG_CON-
       FIG_HOME}/adigrc.

ARGS
       @server
	      Server ip	address.  May specify multiple in comma	delimited for-
	      mat. May be specified in URI format.

       name   Name of the resource record that is to be	looked up

       type   What type	of query is required.  e.g. - A, AAAA, MX,  TXT,  etc.
	      If not specified,	A will be used.

       class  Sets the query class, defaults to	IN.  May also be HS or CH.

       -c class
