ADIG(1)                     General Commands Manual                    ADIG(1)

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

SYNOPSIS
       adig [OPTION]... NAME...

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.

OPTIONS
       -c class
              Set the query class.  Possible values for class are ANY, CHAOS,
              HS and IN (default).

       -d     Print some extra debugging output.

       -f flag
              Add a behavior control flag.  Possible values for flag are
               igntc     - ignore query truncation, return answer as-is
              instead of retrying
                           via tcp.
               noaliases - don't honor the HOSTALIASES environment variable,
               norecurse - don't query upstream servers recursively,
               primary   - use the first server,
               stayopen  - don't close the communication sockets, and
               usevc     - always use TCP.

       -h, -? Display this help and exit.

       -s server
              Connect to specified DNS server, instead of the system's default
              one(s).  Servers are tried in round-robin, if the previous one
              failed.

       -t type
              Query records of specified type.  Possible values for type are A
              (default), AAAA, ANY, AXFR, CNAME, HINFO, MX, NAPTR, NS, PTR,
              SOA, SRV, TXT, URI, CAA, SVCB, and HTTPS.

       -T port
              Connect to the specified TCP port of DNS server.

       -U port
              Connect to the specified UDP port of DNS server.
