% TDNS-UPDATE(1) tnds-query Manual % Andreas Rottmann % October, 2019

NAME

tnds-query - DNS query client

SYNOPSIS

tdns query [options] dns-name

DESCRIPTION

tdns query provides a subset of the functionality found in the dig utility which is distributed as part of the ISC BIND suite. Its functionality is currently quite limited compared to dig, but extending it to be a reasonable replacement for common usage is planned.

OPTIONS

--resolver=address : DNS server to send queries to. If not specified, the resolver name will be determined based on the contents of /etc/resolv.conf, using the first nameserver entry given therein.

--tcp : Use TCP for all DNS requests.

EXAMPLES

Query for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses associated with a DNS name:

tdns query -t A,AAAA example.org

BUGS

  • Only the record data is shown, similar to dig +short.
  • Only record data of for types A, AAAA and TXT are displayed properly.
