- _D_i_g (domain information groper) is a flexible command line
- tool which can be used to gather information from the
- Domain Name System servers. _D_i_g has two modes: simple
- interactive mode which makes a single query, and batch
- which executes a query for each in a list of several query
- lines. All query options are accessible from the command
- line.
-
- The usual simple use of _d_i_g will take the form:
-
- dig @server domain query-type query-class
-
- where:
-
- _s_e_r_v_e_r may be either a domain name or a dot-notation
- Internet address. If this optional field is omit-
- ted, _d_i_g will attempt to use the default name
- server for your machine.
-
- NNoottee:: If a domain name is specified, this will be
- resolved using the domain name system resolver
- (i.e., BIND). If your system does not support DNS,
- you may _h_a_v_e to specify a dot-notation address.
- Alternatively, if there is a server at your dis-
- posal somewhere, all that is required is that
- /etc/resolv.conf be present and indicate where the
- default name servers reside, so that _s_e_r_v_e_r
- itself can be resolved. See _r_e_s_o_l_v_e_r(5) for infor-
- mation on /etc/resolv.conf. (WARNING: Changing
- /etc/resolv.conf will affect the standard resolver
- library and potentially several programs which use
- it.) As an option, the user may set the environment
- variable LOCALRES to name a file which is to be
- used instead of /etc/resolv.conf (LOCALRES is spe-
- cific to the _d_i_g resolver and not referenced by
- the standard resolver). If the LOCALRES variable is
- not set or the file is not readable then
- /etc/resolv.conf will be used.
-
- _d_o_m_a_i_n is the domain name for which you are requesting
- information. See OPTIONS [-x] for convenient way
- to specify inverse address query.
-
- _q_u_e_r_y_-_t_y_p_e
- is the type of information (DNS query type) that
- you are requesting. If omitted, the default is "a"

- (T_A = address). The following types are recog-
- nized:
-
- a T_A network address
- any T_ANY all/any information about specified domain
- mx T_MX mail exchanger for the domain
- ns T_NS name servers
- soa T_SOA zone of authority record
- hinfo T_HINFO host information
- axfr T_AXFR zone transfer
- (must ask an authoritative server)
- txt T_TXT arbitrary number of strings
-
- (See RFC 1035 for the complete list.)
-
- _q_u_e_r_y_-_c_l_a_s_s
- is the network class requested in the query. If
- omitted, the default is "in" (C_IN = Internet).
- The following classes are recognized:
-
- in C_IN Internet class domain
- any C_ANY all/any class information
-
- (See RFC 1035 for the complete list.)
-
- NNoottee:: "Any" can be used to specify a class and/or a
- type of query. _D_i_g will parse the first occurrence
- of "any" to mean query-type = T_ANY. To specify
- query-class = C_ANY you must either specify "any"
- twice, or set query-class using "-c" option (see
- below).

- %ignored-comment
- "%" is used to included an argument that is simply
- not parsed. This may be useful if running _d_i_g in
- batch mode. Instead of resolving every @server-
- domain-name in a list of queries, you can avoid the
- overhead of doing so, and still have the domain
- name on the command line as a reference. Example:
-
- dig @128.9.0.32 %venera.isi.edu mx
- isi.edu
-
-
- -<dig option>
- "-" is used to specify an option which effects the
- operation of _d_i_g. The following options are cur-
- rently available (although not guaranteed to be
- useful):
-
- -x _d_o_t_-_n_o_t_a_t_i_o_n_-_a_d_d_r_e_s_s
- Convenient form to specify inverse address
- mapping. Instead of "dig 32.0.9.128.in-

- addr.arpa" one can simply "dig -x
- 128.9.0.32".
-
- -f _f_i_l_e
- File for _d_i_g batch mode. The file contains a
- list of query specifications (_d_i_g command
- lines) which are to be executed succes-
- sively. Lines beginning with ';', '#', or
- '\n' are ignored. Other options may still
- appear on command line, and will be in
- effect for each batch query.
-
- -T _t_i_m_e
- Time in seconds between start of successive
- queries when running in batch mode. Can be
- used to keep two or more batch _d_i_g commands
- running roughly in sync. Default is zero.
-
- -p _p_o_r_t
- Port number. Query a name server listening
- to a non-standard port number. Default is
- 53.
-
- -P[_p_i_n_g_-_s_t_r_i_n_g]
- After query returns, execute a _p_i_n_g(8) com-
- mand for response time comparison. This
- rather unelegantly makes a call to the
- shell. The last three lines of statistics is
- printed for the command:
-
- ping -s server_name 56 3
-
- If the optional "ping string" is present, it
- replaces "ping -s" in the shell command.
-
- -t _q_u_e_r_y_-_t_y_p_e
- Specify type of query. May specify either an
- integer value to be included in the type
- field or use the abbreviated mnemonic as
- discussed above (i.e., mx = T_MX).
-
- -c _q_u_e_r_y_-_c_l_a_s_s
- Specify class of query. May specify either
- an integer value to be included in the class
- field or use the abbreviated mnemonic as
- discussed above (i.e., in = C_IN).
-
- -envsav
- This flag specifies that the _d_i_g environment
- (defaults, print options, etc.), after all
- of the arguments are parsed, should be saved
- to a file to become the default environment.
- Useful if you do not like the standard set
- of defaults and do not desire to include a

- large number of options each time _d_i_g is
- used. The environment consists of resolver
- state variable flags, timeout, and retries
- as well as the flags detailing _d_i_g output
- (see below). If the shell environment vari-
- able LOCALDEF is set to the name of a file,
- this is where the default _d_i_g environment is
- saved. If not, the file "DiG.env" is created
- in the current working directory.
-
- NNoottee:: LOCALDEF is specific to the _d_i_g
- resolver, and will not affect operation of
- the standard resolver library.
-
- Each time _d_i_g is executed, it looks for
- "./DiG.env" or the file specified by the
- shell environment variable LOCALDEF. If such
- file exists and is readable, then the envi-
- ronment is restored from this file before
- any arguments are parsed.
-
- -envset
- This flag only affects batch query runs.
- When "-envset" is specified on a line in a
- _d_i_g batch file, the _d_i_g environment after
- the arguments are parsed, becomes the
- default environment for the duration of the
- batch file, or until the next line which
- specifies "-envset".
-
- -[no]stick
- This flag only affects batch query runs. It
- specifies that the _d_i_g environment (as read
- initially or set by "-envset" switch) is to
- be restored before each query (line) in a
- _d_i_g batch file. The default "-nostick"
- means that the _d_i_g environment does not
- stick, hence options specified on a single
- line in a _d_i_g batch file will remain in
- effect for subsequent lines (i.e. they are
- not restored to the "sticky" default).
-
-
- +<query option>
- "+" is used to specify an option to be changed in
- the query packet or to change _d_i_g output specifics.
- Many of these are the same parameters accepted by
- _n_s_l_o_o_k_u_p(8). If an option requires a parameter,
- the form is as follows:
-
- +keyword[=value]

- Most keywords can be abbreviated. Parsing of the
- "+" options is very simplistic -- a value must

- The retry and time options affect the retransmis-
- sion strategy used by resolver library when sending
- datagram queries. The algorithm is as follows:
-
- for i = 0 to retry - 1
- for j = 1 to num_servers
- send_query
- wait((time * (2**i)) / num_servers)

- _r_e_s_o_l_v_e_r(3) library. BIND's resolver has (as of BIND 4.9)
- been augmented to work properly with _D_i_g. Essentially,
- _D_i_g is a straight-forward (albeit not pretty) effort of
- parsing arguments and setting appropriate parameters. _D_i_g
- uses resolver routines res_init(), res_mkquery(),
- res_send() as well as accessing _res structure.

- _D_i_g uses functions from _n_s_l_o_o_k_u_p(8) authored by Andrew
- Cherenson.
-
-BBUUGGSS
- _D_i_g has a serious case of "creeping featurism" -- the
- result of considering several potential uses during it's
- development. It would probably benefit from a rigorous
- diet. Similarly, the print flags and granularity of the
- items they specify make evident their rather ad hoc gene-
- sis.
-
- _D_i_g does not consistently exit nicely (with appropriate
- status) when a problem occurs somewhere in the resolver
- (NOTE: most of the common exit cases are handled). This
- is particularly annoying when running in batch mode. If
- it exits abnormally (and is not caught), the entire batch
- aborts; when such an event is trapped, _d_i_g simply contin-
- ues with the next query.
