It can also be a dotted-decimal IPv4 address or a colon-delimited - IPv6 address, in which case <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> will by - default - perform a reverse lookup for that address. - <em class="parameter"><code>server</code></em> is an optional argument which - is either - the name or IP address of the name server that <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> - should query instead of the server or servers listed in - <code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>. - </p> -<p> - The <code class="option">-a</code> (all) option is equivalent to setting the - <code class="option">-v</code> option and asking <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> to make - a query of type ANY. - </p> -<p> - When the <code class="option">-C</code> option is used, <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> - will attempt to display the SOA records for zone - <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> 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. - </p> -<p> - The <code class="option">-c</code> option instructs to make a DNS query of class - <em class="parameter"><code>class</code></em>. This can be used to lookup - Hesiod or - Chaosnet class resource records. The default class is IN (Internet). - </p> -<p> - Verbose output is generated by <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> when - the - <code class="option">-d</code> or <code class="option">-v</code> option is used. The two - options are equivalent. They have been provided for backwards - compatibility. In previous versions, the <code class="option">-d</code> option - switched on debugging traces and <code class="option">-v</code> enabled verbose - output. - </p> -<p> - List mode is selected by the <code class="option">-l</code> option. This makes - <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> perform a zone transfer for zone - <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em>. Transfer the zone printing out - the NS, PTR - and address records (A/AAAA). If combined with <code class="option">-a</code> - all records will be printed. - </p> -<p> - The <code class="option">-i</code> - 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. - </p> -<p> - The <code class="option">-N</code> option sets the number of dots that have to be - in <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> for it to be considered - absolute. The - default value is that defined using the ndots statement in - <code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>, 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 <span class="type">search</span> - or <span class="type">domain</span> directive in - <code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>. - </p> -<p> - The number of UDP retries for a lookup can be changed with the - <code class="option">-R</code> option. <em class="parameter"><code>number</code></em> - indicates - how many times <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> will repeat a query - that does - not get answered. The default number of retries is 1. If - <em class="parameter"><code>number</code></em> is negative or zero, the - number of - retries will default to 1. - </p> -<p> - Non-recursive queries can be made via the <code class="option">-r</code> option. - Setting this option clears the <span class="type">RD</span> — recursion - desired — bit in the query which <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> makes. - This should mean that the name server receiving the query will not - attempt to resolve <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em>. The - <code class="option">-r</code> option enables <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> - 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. - </p> -<p> - By default <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> uses UDP when making - queries. The - <code class="option">-T</code> 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. - </p> -<p> - The <code class="option">-4</code> option forces <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> to only - use IPv4 query transport. The <code class="option">-6</code> option forces - <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> to only use IPv6 query transport. - </p> -<p> - The <code class="option">-t</code> option is used to select the query type. - <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> can be any recognized query - type: CNAME, - NS, SOA, SIG, KEY, AXFR, etc. When no query type is specified, - <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> automatically selects an appropriate - query - type. By default it looks for A records, but if the - <code class="option">-C</code> option was given, queries will be made for SOA - records, and if <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> is a - dotted-decimal IPv4 - address or colon-delimited IPv6 address, <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> 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). - </p> -<p> - The time to wait for a reply can be controlled through the - <code class="option">-W</code> and <code class="option">-w</code> options. The - <code class="option">-W</code> option makes <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> - wait for - <em class="parameter"><code>wait</code></em> seconds. If <em class="parameter"><code>wait</code></em> - is less than one, the wait interval is set to one second. When the - <code class="option">-w</code> option is used, <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> - 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. - </p> -<p> - The <code class="option">-s</code> option tells <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> - <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> 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. - </p> -<p> - The <code class="option">-m</code> can be used to set the memory usage debugging - flags - <em class="parameter"><code>record</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>usage</code></em> and - <em class="parameter"><code>trace</code></em>. - </p> -</div> -<div class="refsect1" lang="en"> -<a name="id2597514"></a><h2>IDN SUPPORT</h2> -<p> - If <span><strong class="command">host</strong></span> has been built with IDN (internationalized - domain name) support, it can accept and display non-ASCII domain names. - <span><strong class="command">host</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">host</strong></span> runs. - </p> -</div> -<div class="refsect1" lang="en"> -<a name="id2597543"></a><h2>FILES</h2> -<p><code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code> - </p> -</div> -<div class="refsect1" lang="en"> -<a name="id2597557"></a><h2>SEE ALSO</h2> -<p><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">dig</span>(1)</span>, - <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">named</span>(8)</span>. - </p> -</div> -</div> -<div class="navfooter"> -<hr> -<table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"> -<tr> -<td width="40%" align="left"> -<a accesskey="p" href="man.dig.html">Prev</a> </td> -<td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="Bv9ARM.ch10.html">Up</a></td> -<td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="man.dnssec-keygen.html">Next</a> -</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">dig </td> -<td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="Bv9ARM.html">Home</a></td> -<td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> <span class="application">dnssec-keygen</span> -</td> -</tr> -</table> -</div> -</body> -</html> |
