-<p><span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span>
- (domain information groper) is a flexible tool
- for interrogating DNS name servers. It performs DNS lookups and
- displays the answers that are returned from the name server(s) that
- were queried. Most DNS administrators use <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> to
- troubleshoot DNS problems because of its flexibility, ease of use and
- clarity of output. Other lookup tools tend to have less functionality
- than <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span>.
- </p>
-<p>
- Although <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> is normally used with
- command-line
- arguments, it also has a batch mode of operation for reading lookup
- requests from a file. A brief summary of its command-line arguments
- and options is printed when the <code class="option">-h</code> option is given.
- Unlike earlier versions, the BIND 9 implementation of
- <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> allows multiple lookups to be issued
- from the
- command line.
- </p>
-<p>
- Unless it is told to query a specific name server,
- <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> will try each of the servers listed
- in
- <code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>.
- </p>
-<p>
- When no command line arguments or options are given, will perform an
- NS query for "." (the root).
- </p>
-<p>
- It is possible to set per-user defaults for <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> via
- <code class="filename">${HOME}/.digrc</code>. This file is read and
- any options in it
- are applied before the command line arguments.
- </p>
-<p>
- The IN and CH class names overlap with the IN and CH top level
- domains names. Either use the <code class="option">-t</code> and
- <code class="option">-c</code> options to specify the type and class or
- use the <code class="option">-q</code> the specify the domain name or
- use "IN." and "CH." when looking up these top level domains.
- </p>

-<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
-<a name="id2569712"></a><h2>SIMPLE USAGE</h2>
-<p>
- A typical invocation of <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> looks like:
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting"> dig @server name type </pre>
-<p>
- where:
-
- </p>
-<div class="variablelist"><dl>
-<dt><span class="term"><code class="constant">server</code></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- is the name or IP address of the name server to query. This can
- be an IPv4
- address in dotted-decimal notation or an IPv6
- address in colon-delimited notation. When the supplied
- <em class="parameter"><code>server</code></em> argument is a
- hostname,
- <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> resolves that name before
- querying that name
- server. If no <em class="parameter"><code>server</code></em>
- argument is provided,
- <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> consults <code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>
- and queries the name servers listed there. The reply from the
- name
- server that responds is displayed.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term"><code class="constant">name</code></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- is the name of the resource record that is to be looked up.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term"><code class="constant">type</code></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- indicates what type of query is required &#8212;
- ANY, A, MX, SIG, etc.
- <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> can be any valid query
- type. If no
- <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> argument is supplied,
- <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> will perform a lookup for an
- A record.
- </p></dd>
-</dl></div>
-<p>
- </p>
-</div>
-<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
-<a name="id2623002"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2>
-<p>
- The <code class="option">-b</code> option sets the source IP address of the query
- to <em class="parameter"><code>address</code></em>. This must be a valid
- address on
- one of the host's network interfaces or "0.0.0.0" or "::". An optional
- port
- may be specified by appending "#&lt;port&gt;"
- </p>
-<p>
- The default query class (IN for internet) is overridden by the
- <code class="option">-c</code> option. <em class="parameter"><code>class</code></em> is
- any valid
- class, such as HS for Hesiod records or CH for Chaosnet records.
- </p>
-<p>
- The <code class="option">-f</code> option makes <span><strong class="command">dig </strong></span>
- operate
- in batch mode by reading a list of lookup requests to process from the
- file <em class="parameter"><code>filename</code></em>. The file contains a
- number of
- queries, one per line. Each entry in the file should be organized in
- the same way they would be presented as queries to
- <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> using the command-line interface.
- </p>
-<p>
- If a non-standard port number is to be queried, the
- <code class="option">-p</code> option is used. <em class="parameter"><code>port#</code></em> is
- the port number that <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> will send its
- queries
- instead of the standard DNS port number 53. This option would be used
- to test a name server that has been configured to listen for queries
- on a non-standard port number.
- </p>
-<p>
- The <code class="option">-4</code> option forces <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span>
- to only
- use IPv4 query transport. The <code class="option">-6</code> option forces
- <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> to only use IPv6 query transport.
- </p>
-<p>
- The <code class="option">-t</code> option sets the query type to
- <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>. It can be any valid query type
- which is
- supported in BIND 9. The default query type is "A", unless the
- <code class="option">-x</code> option is supplied to indicate a reverse lookup.
- A zone transfer can be requested by specifying a type of AXFR. When
- an incremental zone transfer (IXFR) is required,
- <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> is set to <code class="literal">ixfr=N</code>.
- The incremental zone transfer will contain the changes made to the zone
- since the serial number in the zone's SOA record was
- <em class="parameter"><code>N</code></em>.
- </p>
-<p>
- The <code class="option">-q</code> option sets the query name to
- <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em>. This useful do distinguish the
- <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> from other arguments.
- </p>
-<p>
- Reverse lookups &#8212; mapping addresses to names &#8212; are simplified by the
- <code class="option">-x</code> option. <em class="parameter"><code>addr</code></em> is
- an IPv4
- address in dotted-decimal notation, or a colon-delimited IPv6 address.
- When this option is used, there is no need to provide the
- <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>class</code></em> and
- <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> arguments. <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span>
- automatically performs a lookup for a name like
- <code class="literal">11.12.13.10.in-addr.arpa</code> and sets the
- query type and
- class to PTR and IN respectively. By default, IPv6 addresses are
- looked up using nibble format under the IP6.ARPA domain.
- To use the older RFC1886 method using the IP6.INT domain
- specify the <code class="option">-i</code> option. Bit string labels (RFC2874)
- are now experimental and are not attempted.
- </p>
-<p>
- To sign the DNS queries sent by <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> and
- their
- responses using transaction signatures (TSIG), specify a TSIG key file
- using the <code class="option">-k</code> option. You can also specify the TSIG
- key itself on the command line using the <code class="option">-y</code> option;
- <em class="parameter"><code>hmac</code></em> is the type of the TSIG, default HMAC-MD5,
- <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> is the name of the TSIG key and
- <em class="parameter"><code>key</code></em> is the actual key. The key is a
- base-64
- encoded string, typically generated by
- <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">dnssec-keygen</span>(8)</span>.
-
- Caution should be taken when using the <code class="option">-y</code> option on
- multi-user systems as the key can be visible in the output from
- <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">ps</span>(1)</span>
- or in the shell's history file. When
- using TSIG authentication with <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span>, the name
- server that is queried needs to know the key and algorithm that is
- being used. In BIND, this is done by providing appropriate
- <span><strong class="command">key</strong></span> and <span><strong class="command">server</strong></span> statements in
- <code class="filename">named.conf</code>.

-<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
-<a name="id2649413"></a><h2>QUERY OPTIONS</h2>
-<p><span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span>
- provides a number of query options which affect
- the way in which lookups are made and the results displayed. Some of
- these set or reset flag bits in the query header, some determine which
- sections of the answer get printed, and others determine the timeout
- and retry strategies.
- </p>
-<p>
- Each query option is identified by a keyword preceded by a plus sign
- (<code class="literal">+</code>). Some keywords set or reset an
- option. These may be preceded
- by the string <code class="literal">no</code> to negate the meaning of
- that keyword. Other
- keywords assign values to options like the timeout interval. They
- have the form <code class="option">+keyword=value</code>.
- The query options are:

- The BIND 9 implementation of <span><strong class="command">dig </strong></span>
- supports
- specifying multiple queries on the command line (in addition to
- supporting the <code class="option">-f</code> batch file option). Each of those
- queries can be supplied with its own set of flags, options and query
- options.
- </p>
-<p>
- In this case, each <em class="parameter"><code>query</code></em> argument
- represent an
- individual query in the command-line syntax described above. Each
- consists of any of the standard options and flags, the name to be
- looked up, an optional query type and class and any query options that
- should be applied to that query.
- </p>
-<p>
- A global set of query options, which should be applied to all queries,
- can also be supplied. These global query options must precede the
- first tuple of name, class, type, options, flags, and query options
- supplied on the command line. Any global query options (except
- the <code class="option">+[no]cmd</code> option) can be
- overridden by a query-specific set of query options. For example:
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">
-dig +qr www.isc.org any -x 127.0.0.1 isc.org ns +noqr
-</pre>
-<p>
- shows how <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> could be used from the
- command line
- to make three lookups: an ANY query for <code class="literal">www.isc.org</code>, a
- reverse lookup of 127.0.0.1 and a query for the NS records of
- <code class="literal">isc.org</code>.
-
- A global query option of <em class="parameter"><code>+qr</code></em> is
- applied, so
- that <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> shows the initial query it made
- for each
- lookup. The final query has a local query option of
- <em class="parameter"><code>+noqr</code></em> which means that <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span>
- will not print the initial query when it looks up the NS records for
- <code class="literal">isc.org</code>.

-<a name="id2650553"></a><h2>IDN SUPPORT</h2>
-<p>
- If <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> has been built with IDN (internationalized
- domain name) support, it can accept and display non-ASCII domain names.
- <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> 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 <code class="envar">IDN_DISABLE</code> environment variable.
- The IDN support is disabled if the variable is set when
- <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> runs.
