All query options are -accessible from the command line. -.PP -The usual simple use of \fIdig\fP will take the form: -.sp 1 - dig @server domain query-type query-class -.sp 1 -where: -.IP \fIserver\fP -may be either a domain name or a dot-notation -Internet address. If this optional field is omitted, \fIdig\fP -will attempt to use the default name server for your machine. -.sp 1 -\fBNote:\fP If a domain name is specified, this will be resolved -using the domain name system resolver (i.e., BIND). If your -system does not support DNS, you may \fIhave\fP to specify a -dot-notation address. Alternatively, if there is a server -at your disposal somewhere, all that is required is that -/etc/resolv.conf be present and indicate where the default -name servers reside, so that \fIserver\fP itself can be -resolved. See -.IR resolver (@FORMAT_EXT@) -for information on /etc/resolv.conf. -(WARNING: Changing /etc/resolv.conf will affect -the standard resolver library and potentially several -programs which use it.) As an option, the user may set the -environment variable LOCALRES to name a file which is to -be used instead of /etc/resolv.conf (LOCALRES is specific -to the \fIdig\fP resolver and not referenced by the standard -resolver). If the LOCALRES variable is not set or the file -is not readable then /etc/resolv.conf will be used. -.IP \fIdomain\fP -is the domain name for which you are requesting information. -See OPTIONS [-x] for convenient way to specify inverse address -query. -.IP \fIquery-type\fP -is the type of information (DNS query type) that -you are requesting. If omitted, the default is "a" (T_A = address). -The following types are recognized: -.sp 1 -.ta \w'hinfoXX'u +\w'T_HINFOXX'u -.nf -a T_A network address -any T_ANY all/any information about specified domain -mx T_MX mail exchanger for the domain -ns T_NS name servers -soa T_SOA zone of authority record -hinfo T_HINFO host information -axfr T_AXFR zone transfer - (must ask an authoritative server) -txt T_TXT arbitrary number of strings -.fi -.sp 1 -(See RFC 1035 for the complete list.) -.IP \fIquery-class\fP -is the network class requested in the query. If -omitted, the default is "in" (C_IN = Internet). -The following classes are recognized: -.sp 1 -.ta \w'hinfoXX'u +\w'T_HINFOXX'u -.nf -in C_IN Internet class domain -any C_ANY all/any class information -.fi -.sp 1 -(See RFC 1035 for the complete list.) -.sp 1 -\fBNote:\fP -"Any" can be used to specify a class and/or a type of -query. \fIDig\fP will parse the first occurrence of "any" -to mean query-type = T_ANY. To specify query-class = -C_ANY you must either specify "any" twice, or set -query-class using "\-c" option (see below). -.SH OTHER OPTIONS -.IP "%ignored-comment" -"%" is used to included an argument that is simply not -parsed. This may be useful if running \fIdig\fP in batch -mode. Instead of resolving every @server-domain-name in -a list of queries, you can avoid the overhead of doing -so, and still have the domain name on the command line -as a reference. Example: -.sp 1 - dig @128.9.0.32 %venera.isi.edu mx isi.edu -.sp 1 -.IP "\-<dig option>" -"\-" is used to specify an option which effects the -operation of \fIdig\fP. The following options are currently -available (although not guaranteed to be useful): -.RS -.IP "\-x \fIdot-notation-address\fP" -Convenient form to specify inverse address mapping. -Instead of "dig 32.0.9.128.in-addr.arpa" one can -simply "dig -x 128.9.0.32". -.IP "\-f \fIfile\fP" -File for \fIdig\fP batch mode. The file contains a list -of query specifications (\fIdig\fP command lines) which -are to be executed successively. Lines beginning -with ';', '#', or '\\n' are ignored. Other options -may still appear on command line, and will be in -effect for each batch query. -.IP "\-T \fItime\fP" -Time in seconds between start of successive -queries when running in batch mode. Can be used -to keep two or more batch \fIdig\fP commands running -roughly in sync. Default is zero. -.IP "\-p \fIport\fP" -Port number. Query a name server listening to a -non-standard port number. Default is 53. -.IP "\-P[\fIping-string\fP]" -After query returns, execute a -.IR ping (@SYS_OPS_EXT@) -command -for response time comparison. This rather -inelegantly makes a call to the shell. The last -three lines of statistics is printed for the -command: -.sp 1 - ping \-s server_name 56 3 -.sp 1 -If the optional "ping string" is present, it -replaces "ping \-s" in the shell command. -.IP "\-t \fIquery-type\fP" -Specify type of query. May specify either an -integer value to be included in the type field -or use the abbreviated mnemonic as discussed -above (i.e., mx = T_MX). -.IP "\-c \fIquery-class\fP" -Specify class of query. May specify either an -integer value to be included in the class field -or use the abbreviated mnemonic as discussed -above (i.e., in = C_IN). -.IP "\-envsav" -This flag specifies that the \fIdig\fP environment -(defaults, print options, etc.), after -all of the arguments are parsed, should be saved -to a file to become the default environment. -Useful if you do not like the standard set of -defaults and do not desire to include a -large number of options each time \fIdig\fP is used. -The environment consists of resolver state -variable flags, timeout, and retries as well as -the flags detailing \fIdig\fP output (see below). -If the shell environment variable LOCALDEF is set -to the name of a file, this is where the default -\fIdig\fP environment is saved. If not, the file -"DiG.env" is created in the current working directory. -.sp 1 -\fBNote:\fP LOCALDEF is specific to the \fIdig\fP resolver, -and will not affect operation of the standard -resolver library. -.sp 1 -Each time \fIdig\fP is executed, it looks for "./DiG.env" -or the file specified by the shell environment variable -LOCALDEF. If such file exists and is readable, then the -environment is restored from this file -before any arguments are parsed. -.IP "\-envset" -This flag only affects -batch query runs. When "\-envset" is -specified on a line in a \fIdig\fP batch file, -the \fIdig\fP environment after the arguments are parsed, -becomes the default environment for the duration of -the batch file, or until the next line which specifies -"\-envset". -.IP "\-[no]stick" -This flag only affects batch query runs. -It specifies that the \fIdig\fP environment (as read initially -or set by "\-envset" switch) is to be restored before each query -(line) in a \fIdig\fP batch file. -The default "\-nostick" means that the \fIdig\fP environment -does not stick, hence options specified on a single line -in a \fIdig\fP batch file will remain in effect for -subsequent lines (i.e. they are not restored to the -"sticky" default). - -.RE -.IP "+<query option>" -"+" is used to specify an option to be changed in the -query packet or to change \fIdig\fP output specifics. Many -of these are the same parameters accepted by -.IR nslookup (@SYS_OPS_EXT@). -If an option requires a parameter, the form is as -follows: -.sp 1 - +keyword[=value] -.sp 1 -Most keywords can be abbreviated. Parsing of the "+" -options is very simplistic \(em a value must not be -separated from its keyword by white space. The following -keywords are currently available: -.sp 1 -.nf -.ta \w'domain=NAMEXX'u +\w'(deb)XXX'u -Keyword Abbrev.

The algorithm is as follows: -.sp 1 -.in +5n -.nf -for i = 0 to retry \- 1 - for j = 1 to num_servers - send_query - wait((time * (2**i)) / num_servers) - end -end -.fi -.in -5n -.sp 1 -(Note: \fIdig\fP always uses a value of 1 for num_servers.) -.SH DETAILS -\fIDig\fP once required a slightly modified version of the BIND -.IR resolver (@LIB_NETWORK_EXT@) -library. BIND's resolver has (as of BIND 4.9) been augmented to work -properly with \fIDig\fP. Essentially, \fIDig\fP is a straight-forward -(albeit not pretty) effort of parsing arguments and setting appropriate -parameters. \fIDig\fP uses resolver routines res_init(), res_mkquery(), -res_send() as well as accessing _res structure. -.SH FILES -.ta \w'/etc/resolv.confXX'u -/etc/resolv.conf initial domain name and name server -\./DiG.env default save file for default options -.br - addresses -.SH ENVIRONMENT -LOCALRES file to use in place of /etc/resolv.conf -.br -LOCALDEF default environment file -.SH AUTHOR -Steve Hotz -hotz@isi.edu -.SH ACKNOWLEDGMENTS -\fIDig\fP uses functions from -.IR nslookup (@SYS_OPS_EXT@) -authored by Andrew Cherenson. -.SH BUGS -\fIDig\fP has a serious case of "creeping featurism" -- the result of -considering several potential uses during it's development. It would -probably benefit from a rigorous diet. Similarly, the print flags -and granularity of the items they specify make evident their -rather ad hoc genesis. -.PP -\fIDig\fP does not consistently exit nicely (with appropriate status) -when a problem occurs somewhere in the resolver (NOTE: most of the common -exit cases are handled). This is particularly annoying when running in -batch mode. If it exits abnormally (and is not caught), the entire -batch aborts; when such an event is trapped, \fIdig\fP simply -continues with the next query. -.SH SEE ALSO -@INDOT@named(@SYS_OPS_EXT@), resolver(@LIB_NETWORK_EXT@), resolver(@FORMAT_EXT@), nslookup(@SYS_OPS_EXT@) |
