It can also be a dotted-decimal IPv4 address or a colon-delimited - IPv6 address, in which case <command>host</command> will by - default - perform a reverse lookup for that address. - <parameter>server</parameter> is an optional argument which - is either - the name or IP address of the name server that <command>host</command> - should query instead of the server or servers listed in - <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>. - </para> - - <para> - The <option>-a</option> (all) option is equivalent to setting the - <option>-v</option> option and asking <command>host</command> to make - a query of type ANY. - </para> - - <para> - When the <option>-C</option> option is used, <command>host</command> - will attempt to display the SOA records for zone - <parameter>name</parameter> from all the listed - authoritative name - servers for that zone. The list of name servers is defined by the NS - records that are found for the zone. - </para> - - <para> - The <option>-c</option> option instructs to make a DNS query of class - <parameter>class</parameter>. This can be used to lookup - Hesiod or - Chaosnet class resource records. The default class is IN (Internet). - </para> - - <para> - Verbose output is generated by <command>host</command> when - the - <option>-d</option> or <option>-v</option> option is used. The two - options are equivalent. They have been provided for backwards - compatibility. In previous versions, the <option>-d</option> option - switched on debugging traces and <option>-v</option> enabled verbose - output. - </para> - - <para> - List mode is selected by the <option>-l</option> option. This makes - <command>host</command> perform a zone transfer for zone - <parameter>name</parameter>. Transfer the zone printing out - the NS, PTR - and address records (A/AAAA). If combined with <option>-a</option> - all records will be printed. - </para> - - <para> - The <option>-i</option> - option specifies that reverse lookups of IPv6 addresses should - use the IP6.INT domain as defined in RFC1886. - The default is to use IP6.ARPA. - </para> - - <para> - The <option>-N</option> option sets the number of dots that have to be - in <parameter>name</parameter> for it to be considered - absolute. The - default value is that defined using the ndots statement in - <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>, or 1 if no ndots - statement is - present. Names with fewer dots are interpreted as relative names and - will be searched for in the domains listed in the <type>search</type> - or <type>domain</type> directive in - <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>. - </para> - - <para> - The number of UDP retries for a lookup can be changed with the - <option>-R</option> option. <parameter>number</parameter> - indicates - how many times <command>host</command> will repeat a query - that does - not get answered. The default number of retries is 1. If - <parameter>number</parameter> is negative or zero, the - number of - retries will default to 1. - </para> - - <para> - Non-recursive queries can be made via the <option>-r</option> option. - Setting this option clears the <type>RD</type> — recursion - desired — bit in the query which <command>host</command> makes. - This should mean that the name server receiving the query will not - attempt to resolve <parameter>name</parameter>. The - <option>-r</option> option enables <command>host</command> - to mimic - the behavior of a name server by making non-recursive queries and - expecting to receive answers to those queries that are usually - referrals to other name servers. - </para> - - <para> - By default, <command>host</command> uses UDP when making - queries. The - <option>-T</option> option makes it use a TCP connection when querying - the name server. TCP will be automatically selected for queries that - require it, such as zone transfer (AXFR) requests. - </para> - - <para> - The <option>-4</option> option forces <command>host</command> to only - use IPv4 query transport. The <option>-6</option> option forces - <command>host</command> to only use IPv6 query transport. - </para> - - <para> - The <option>-t</option> option is used to select the query type. - <parameter>type</parameter> can be any recognized query - type: CNAME, - NS, SOA, SIG, KEY, AXFR, etc. When no query type is specified, - <command>host</command> automatically selects an appropriate - query - type. By default, it looks for A, AAAA, and MX records, but if the - <option>-C</option> option was given, queries will be made for SOA - records, and if <parameter>name</parameter> is a - dotted-decimal IPv4 - address or colon-delimited IPv6 address, <command>host</command> will - query for PTR records. If a query type of IXFR is chosen the starting - serial number can be specified by appending an equal followed by the - starting serial number (e.g. -t IXFR=12345678). - </para> - - <para> - The time to wait for a reply can be controlled through the - <option>-W</option> and <option>-w</option> options. The - <option>-W</option> option makes <command>host</command> - wait for - <parameter>wait</parameter> seconds. If <parameter>wait</parameter> - is less than one, the wait interval is set to one second. When the - <option>-w</option> option is used, <command>host</command> - will - effectively wait forever for a reply. The time to wait for a response - will be set to the number of seconds given by the hardware's maximum - value for an integer quantity. - </para> - - <para> - The <option>-s</option> option tells <command>host</command> - <emphasis>not</emphasis> to send the query to the next nameserver - if any server responds with a SERVFAIL response, which is the - reverse of normal stub resolver behavior. - </para> - - <para> - The <option>-m</option> can be used to set the memory usage debugging - flags - <parameter>record</parameter>, <parameter>usage</parameter> and - <parameter>trace</parameter>. - </para> - </refsect1> - - <refsect1> - <title>IDN SUPPORT</title> - <para> - If <command>host</command> has been built with IDN (internationalized - domain name) support, it can accept and display non-ASCII domain names. - <command>host</command> appropriately converts character encoding of - domain name before sending a request to DNS server or displaying a - reply from the server. - If you'd like to turn off the IDN support for some reason, defines - the <envar>IDN_DISABLE</envar> environment variable. - The IDN support is disabled if the variable is set when - <command>host</command> runs. - </para> - </refsect1> - - <refsect1> - <title>FILES</title> - <para><filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> - </para> - </refsect1> - - <refsect1> - <title>SEE ALSO</title> - <para><citerefentry> - <refentrytitle>dig</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum> - </citerefentry>, - <citerefentry> - <refentrytitle>named</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum> - </citerefentry>. - </para> - - </refsect1> -</refentry><!-- - - Local variables: - - mode: sgml - - End: ---> |
