.SH NAME
sdig \- Perform a DNS query and show the results
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBsdig\fP \fIIP\-ADDRESS\-OR\-DOH\-URL\fP \fIPORT\fP \fIQNAME\fP \fIQTYPE\fP [\fIOPTION\fP]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBsdig\fP sends a DNS query to \fIIP\-ADDRESS\-OR\-DOH\-URL\fP on port \fIPORT\fP and displays the answer in a formatted way.
If the address starts with an \fBh\fP, it is assumed to be a DoH endpoint, and \fIPORT\fP is ignored.
If qname and qtype are both \fI\-\fP and tcp is used, multiple lines are read from stdin, where each line contains a qname and a type.
If the address is \fBstdin\fP, a DNS packet is read from stdin instead of from the network, and \fIPORT\fP is ignored.
All input is literal and case sensitive.
Queries need option \fIrecurse\fP to expect a resource record reply if the query target is not known to be the authoritative server for that record.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
These options can be added to the commandline in any order.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B class \fICLASSNUM\fP
Send the query in the numbered class (like 3 for CHAOS) instead of the default 1 (for IN).
.TP
.B dnssec
Set the DO bit to request DNSSEC information.
.TP
.B ednssubnet \fISUBNET\fP
Send \fISUBNET\fP in the edns\-client\-subnet option. If this option is not set, no edns\-client\-subnet option is set in the query.
.TP
.B hidesoadetails
Don\(aqt show the SOA serial in the response.
.TP
.B hidettl
Replace TTLs with \fI[ttl]\fP in the response.
.TP
.B proxy \fITCP?\fP \fISRC\fP \fIDST\fP
Wrap query in PROXYv2 protocol with these parameters. The first parameter accepts 0 for UDP and 1 for TCP. The second and third take IP addresses and port.
.TP
.B recurse
Set the RD bit in the question.
.TP
.B showflags
Show the NSEC3 flags in the response (they are hidden by default).
.TP
.B dumpluaraw
Display record contents in a form suitable for dnsdist\(aqs \fISpoofRawAction\fP\&.
.TP
.B tcp
Use TCP instead of UDP to send the query.
.TP
.B dot
use DoT instead of UDP to send a query. Implies tcp.
.TP
.B insecure
when using DoT, do not validate the server certificate.
.TP
.B fastOpen
when using TCP or, DoT, enable TCP Fast Open
.TP
.B subjectName \fIname\fP
when using DoT, verify the server certificate is issued for \fIname\fP\&. The \fIopenssl\fP provider will accept an empty name and still
make sure the certificate is issued by a trusted CA, \fIgnutls\fP will only do the validation if a name is given.
Default is the empty name. Also, note that older provide libraries might not validate at all.
.TP
.B caStore \fIfile\fP
when using DoT, read the trusted CA certificates from \fIfile\fP\&. Default is to use the system provided CA store.
.TP
.B tlsProvider \fIname\fP
when using DoT, use TLS provider \fIname\fP\&. Currently supported (if compiled in): \fIopenssl\fP and \fIgnutls\fP\&. Default is \fIopenssl\fP if available.
.TP
.B xpf \fIXPFCODE\fP \fIXPFVERSION\fP \fIXPFPROTO\fP \fIXPFSRC\fP \fIXPFDST\fP
Send an \fIXPF\fP additional with these parameters.
.TP
.B opcode \fIOPNUM\fP
Use opcode \fIOPNUM\fP instead of 0 (Query). For example, \fBsdig 192.0.2.1 53 example.com SOA opcode 4\fP sends a \fBNOTIFY\fP\&.
