AHOST(1)                    General Commands Manual                   AHOST(1)

NAME
       ahost - print the A or AAAA record associated with a hostname or IP
       address

SYNOPSIS
       ahost [OPTION]... HOST...

DESCRIPTION
       Look up the DNS A or AAAA record associated with HOST (a hostname or an
       IP address).

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

OPTIONS
       -d     Print some extra debugging output.

       -h, -? Display this help and exit.

       -t type
              If type is "a", print the A record.  If type is "aaaa", print
              the AAAA record.  If type is "u", look for both AAAA and A
              records (default).

       -s server
              Set the server list to use for DNS lookups.

       -D domain
              Specify the domain to search instead of using the default values
              from
              /etc/resolv.conf. This option only has an effect on platforms
              that use
              /etc/resolv.conf for DNS configuration; it has no effect on
              other platforms (such as Win32 or Android).
