ADIG(1) General Commands Manual ADIG(1) 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 format. 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. FLAGS -c class Sets the query class, defaults to IN. May also be HS or CH. -h Prints the help. -p port Sends query to a port other than 53. Often recommended to set the port using @server instead. -q name Specifies the domain name to query. Useful to distinguish name from other arguments -r Skip adigrc processing -s Server (alias for @server syntax), compatibility with old cmdline -t type Indicates resource record type to query. Useful to distinguish type from other arguments -x addr Simplified reverse lookups. Sets the type to PTR and forms a valid in-arpa query string QUERY OPTIONS +[no]aaonly Sets the aa flag in the query.
