DIG(1) DIG(1) NAME dig - DNS lookup utility SYNOPSIS dig [ @server ] [ -b address ] [ -c class ] [ -f file- name ] [ -k filename ] [ -p port# ] [ -t type ] [ -x addr ] [ -y name:key ] [ name ] [ type ] [ class ] [ queryopt... ] dig [ -h ] dig [ global-queryopt... ] [ query... ] DESCRIPTION dig (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 dig to troubleshoot DNS problems because of its flexibil- ity, ease of use and clarity of output. Other lookup tools tend to have less functionality than dig. /tmp/man.001247 (7%) [snipped] --Mike
