    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
    <para><command>dig</command>
      (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 <command>dig</command> to
      troubleshoot DNS problems because of its flexibility, ease of use and
      clarity of output.  Other lookup tools tend to have less functionality
      than <command>dig</command>.
    </para>

    <para>
      Although <command>dig</command> 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 <option>-h</option> option is given.
      Unlike earlier versions, the BIND 9 implementation of
      <command>dig</command> allows multiple lookups to be issued
      from the
      command line.
    </para>

    <para>
      Unless it is told to query a specific name server,
      <command>dig</command> will try each of the servers listed
      in
      <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>.
    </para>

    <para>
      When no command line arguments or options are given,
      <command>dig</command> will perform an NS query for "." (the root).
    </para>

    <para>
      It is possible to set per-user defaults for <command>dig</command> via
      <filename>${HOME}/.digrc</filename>.  This file is read and
      any options in it
      are applied before the command line arguments.
    </para>

    <para>
      The IN and CH class names overlap with the IN and CH top level
      domains names.  Either use the <option>-t</option> and
      <option>-c</option> options to specify the type and class, 
      use the <option>-q</option> the specify the domain name, or
      use "IN." and "CH." when looking up these top level domains.
    </para>

    <title>SIMPLE USAGE</title>

    <para>
      A typical invocation of <command>dig</command> looks like:
      <programlisting> dig @server name type </programlisting>
      where:

      <variablelist>

        <varlistentry>
          <term><constant>server</constant></term>
          <listitem>
            <para>
              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
              <parameter>server</parameter> argument is a
              hostname,
              <command>dig</command> resolves that name before
              querying that name
              server.  If no <parameter>server</parameter>
              argument is provided,
              <command>dig</command> consults <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>
              and queries the name servers listed there.  The reply from the
              name
              server that responds is displayed.
            </para>
          </listitem>
        </varlistentry>

        <varlistentry>
          <term><constant>name</constant></term>
          <listitem>
            <para>
              is the name of the resource record that is to be looked up.
            </para>
          </listitem>
        </varlistentry>

        <varlistentry>
          <term><constant>type</constant></term>
          <listitem>
            <para>
              indicates what type of query is required &mdash;
              ANY, A, MX, SIG, etc.
              <parameter>type</parameter> can be any valid query
              type.  If no
              <parameter>type</parameter> argument is supplied,
              <command>dig</command> will perform a lookup for an
              A record.
            </para>
          </listitem>
        </varlistentry>

      </variablelist>
    </para>

  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>OPTIONS</title>

    <para>
      The <option>-b</option> option sets the source IP address of the query
      to <parameter>address</parameter>.  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;"
    </para>

    <para>
      The default query class (IN for internet) is overridden by the
      <option>-c</option> option.  <parameter>class</parameter> is
      any valid
      class, such as HS for Hesiod records or CH for Chaosnet records.
    </para>

    <para>
      The <option>-f</option> option makes <command>dig </command>
      operate
      in batch mode by reading a list of lookup requests to process from the
      file <parameter>filename</parameter>.  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
      <command>dig</command> using the command-line interface.
    </para>

    <para>
      The <option>-m</option> option enables memory usage debugging.
      <!-- It enables ISC_MEM_DEBUGTRACE and ISC_MEM_DEBUGRECORD
           documented in include/isc/mem.h -->
    </para>

    <para>
      If a non-standard port number is to be queried, the
      <option>-p</option> option is used.  <parameter>port#</parameter> is
      the port number that <command>dig</command> 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.
    </para>

    <para>
      The <option>-4</option> option forces <command>dig</command>
      to only
      use IPv4 query transport.  The <option>-6</option> option forces
      <command>dig</command> to only use IPv6 query transport.
    </para>

    <para>
      The <option>-t</option> option sets the query type to
      <parameter>type</parameter>.  It can be any valid query type
      which is
      supported in BIND 9.  The default query type is "A", unless the
      <option>-x</option> 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,
      <parameter>type</parameter> is set to <literal>ixfr=N</literal>.
      The incremental zone transfer will contain the changes made to the zone
      since the serial number in the zone's SOA record was
      <parameter>N</parameter>.
    </para>

    <para>
      The <option>-q</option> option sets the query name to 
      <parameter>name</parameter>.  This useful do distinguish the
      <parameter>name</parameter> from other arguments.
    </para>

    <para>
      Reverse lookups &mdash; mapping addresses to names &mdash; are simplified by the
      <option>-x</option> option.  <parameter>addr</parameter> 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
      <parameter>name</parameter>, <parameter>class</parameter> and
      <parameter>type</parameter> arguments.  <command>dig</command>
      automatically performs a lookup for a name like
      <literal>11.12.13.10.in-addr.arpa</literal> 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 <option>-i</option> option.  Bit string labels (RFC2874)
      are now experimental and are not attempted.
    </para>

    <para>
      To sign the DNS queries sent by <command>dig</command> and
      their
      responses using transaction signatures (TSIG), specify a TSIG key file
      using the <option>-k</option> option.  You can also specify the TSIG
      key itself on the command line using the <option>-y</option> option;
      <parameter>hmac</parameter> is the type of the TSIG, default HMAC-MD5,
      <parameter>name</parameter> is the name of the TSIG key and
      <parameter>key</parameter> is the actual key.  The key is a
      base-64
      encoded string, typically generated by
      <citerefentry>
        <refentrytitle>dnssec-keygen</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum>
      </citerefentry>.

      Caution should be taken when using the <option>-y</option> option on
      multi-user systems as the key can be visible in the output from
      <citerefentry>
        <refentrytitle>ps</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum>
      </citerefentry>
      or in the shell's history file.  When
      using TSIG authentication with <command>dig</command>, 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
      <command>key</command> and <command>server</command> statements in
      <filename>named.conf</filename>.
    </para>

  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>QUERY OPTIONS</title>

    <para><command>dig</command>
      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.
    </para>

    <para>
      Each query option is identified by a keyword preceded by a plus sign
      (<literal>+</literal>).  Some keywords set or reset an
      option.  These may be preceded
      by the string <literal>no</literal> to negate the meaning of
      that keyword.  Other
      keywords assign values to options like the timeout interval.  They
      have the form <option>+keyword=value</option>.
      The query options are:

      <variablelist>

        <varlistentry>
          <term><option>+[no]tcp</option></term>
          <listitem>
            <para>
              Use [do not use] TCP when querying name servers.  The default
              behavior is to use UDP unless an AXFR or IXFR query is
              requested, in
              which case a TCP connection is used.

    <title>MULTIPLE QUERIES</title>

    <para>
      The BIND 9 implementation of <command>dig </command>
      supports
      specifying multiple queries on the command line (in addition to
      supporting the <option>-f</option> batch file option).  Each of those
      queries can be supplied with its own set of flags, options and query
      options.
    </para>

    <para>
      In this case, each <parameter>query</parameter> 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.
    </para>

    <para>
      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 <option>+[no]cmd</option> option) can be
      overridden by a query-specific set of query options.  For example:
      <programlisting>
dig +qr www.isc.org any -x 127.0.0.1 isc.org ns +noqr
</programlisting>
      shows how <command>dig</command> could be used from the
      command line
      to make three lookups: an ANY query for <literal>www.isc.org</literal>, a
      reverse lookup of 127.0.0.1 and a query for the NS records of
      <literal>isc.org</literal>.

      A global query option of <parameter>+qr</parameter> is
      applied, so
      that <command>dig</command> shows the initial query it made
      for each
      lookup.  The final query has a local query option of
      <parameter>+noqr</parameter> which means that <command>dig</command>
      will not print the initial query when it looks up the NS records for
      <literal>isc.org</literal>.
    </para>

  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>IDN SUPPORT</title>
    <para>
      If <command>dig</command> has been built with IDN (internationalized
      domain name) support, it can accept and display non-ASCII domain names.
      <command>dig</command> 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 <envar>IDN_DISABLE</envar> environment variable.
      The IDN support is disabled if the variable is set when 
      <command>dig</command> runs.
