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 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 cmd- line -t type Indicates resource record type to query. Useful to distinguish type from other arguments -x addr Simplified reverse lookups.
