The program supports -queries to the nameserver with an opcode of QUERY. -This program is intended to be a replacement or -supplement to programs like nstest, nsquery and -nslookup. All arguments except for -.IR host -and -.IR ns -are treated without case-sensitivity. -.SH OPTIONS -.TP 1i -.B \-n -The nameserver to be used in the query. Nameservers can appear as either -Internet addresses of the form w.x.y.z or can appear as domain names. -(default: as specified in /etc/resolv.conf) -.TP 1i -.B \-t -The type of resource record of interest. Types include: -.RS 1.5i -.TP 1i -A -address -.PD 0 -.TP 1i -NS -nameserver -.TP 1i -CNAME -canonical name -.TP 1i -PTR -domain name pointer -.TP 1i -SOA -start of authority -.TP 1i -WKS -well-known service -.TP 1i -HINFO -host information -.TP 1i -MINFO -mailbox information -.TP 1i -MX -mail exchange -.TP 1i -RP -responsible person -.TP 1i -MG -mail group member -.TP 1i -AFSDB -DCE or AFS server -.TP 1i -ANY -wildcard -.RE -.PD -.IP -Note that any case may be used.

(default: IN) -.TP 1i -.B \-r -The number of times to retry if the nameserver is -not responding. (default: 4) -.TP 1i -.B \-p -Period to wait before timing out. (default: RES_TIMEOUT) -.IR options -field. (default: any answer) -.TP 1i -.B \-d -Turn on debugging. This sets the RES_DEBUG bit of the resolver's -.IR options -field. (default: no debugging) -.TP 1i -.B \-s -Use a -.IR stream -rather than a packet. This uses a TCP stream connection with -the nameserver rather than a UDP datagram. This sets the -RES_USEVC bit of the resolver's -.IR options -field. (default: UDP) -.TP 1i -.B \-v -Synonym for the 's' flag. -.TP 1i -.B host -The name of the host (or domain) of interest. -.SH FILES -/etc/resolv.conf to get the default ns and search lists -.br -<arpa/nameser.h> list of usable RR types and classes -.br -<resolv.h> list of resolver flags -.SH "SEE ALSO" -nslookup(@SYS_OPS_EXT@), nstest(@CMD_EXT@), nsquery(@CMD_EXT@), -named(@SYS_OPS_EXT@), resolver(@FORMAT_EXT@) -.SH DIAGNOSTICS -If the resolver fails to answer the query and debugging has not been -turned on, -.IR dnsquery -will simply print a message like: -.TP 1i -Query failed (rc = 1) : Unknown host -.LP -The value of the return code is supplied by h_errno. -.SH BUGS -Queries of a class other than IN can have interesting results -since ordinarily a nameserver only has a list of root nameservers -for class IN resource records. -.PP -Query uses a call to inet_addr() to determine if the argument -for the '-n' option is a valid Internet address. Unfortunately, -inet_addr() seems to cause a segmentation fault with some (bad) -addresses (e.g. 1.2.3.4.5). -.SH AUTHOR -Bryan Beecher |
