TOR-RESOLVE(1)                    Tor Manual                    TOR-RESOLVE(1)

NAME
       tor-resolve - resolve a hostname to an IP address via tor

SYNOPSIS
       tor-resolve [-4|-5] [-v] [-x] [-p socksport] hostname
       [sockshost[:socksport]]

DESCRIPTION
       tor-resolve is a simple script to connect to a SOCKS proxy that knows
       about the SOCKS RESOLVE command, hand it a hostname, and return an IP
       address.

       By default, tor-resolve uses the Tor server running on 127.0.0.1 on
       SOCKS port 9050. If this isn't what you want, you should specify an
       explicit sockshost and/or socksport on the command line.

OPTIONS
       -v
           Display verbose output.

       -x
           Perform a reverse lookup: get the PTR record for an IPv4 address.

       -5
           Use the SOCKS5 protocol. (Default)

       -4
           Use the SOCKS4a protocol rather than the default SOCKS5 protocol.
           Doesn't support reverse DNS.

       -p socksport
           Override the default SOCKS port without setting the hostname.
