("ISC") + + + + + + dig + @server + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + name + type + class + queryopt + + + + dig + + + + + dig + global-queryopt + query + + + + DESCRIPTION + + dig 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 flexibility, ease of use and + clarity of output. Other lookup tools tend to have less functionality + than dig. + + + + Although dig 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 is given. + Unlike earlier versions, the BIND 9 implementation of + dig allows multiple lookups to be issued + from the + command line. + + + + Unless it is told to query a specific name server, + dig will try each of the servers listed in + /etc/resolv.conf. If no usable server addresses + are found, dig will send the query to the local + host. + + + + When no command line arguments or options are given, + dig will perform an NS query for "." (the root). + + + + It is possible to set per-user defaults for dig via + ${HOME}/.digrc. This file is read and + any options in it + are applied before the command line arguments. + + + + The IN and CH class names overlap with the IN and CH top level + domain names. Either use the and + options to specify the type and class, + use the the specify the domain name, or + use "IN." and "CH." when looking up these top level domains. + + + + + SIMPLE USAGE + + + + A typical invocation of dig looks like: + dig @server name type + where: + + + + + server + + + 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 + server argument is a hostname, + dig resolves that name before querying + that name server. + + + If no server argument is + provided, dig consults + /etc/resolv.conf; if an + address is found there, it queries the name server at + that address. If either of the or + options are in use, then + only addresses for the corresponding transport + will be tried. If no usable addresses are found, + dig will send the query to the + local host. The reply from the name server that + responds is displayed. + + + + + + name + + + is the name of the resource record that is to be looked up. + + + + + + type + + + indicates what type of query is required — + ANY, A, MX, SIG, etc. + type can be any valid query + type. If no + type argument is supplied, + dig will perform a lookup for an + A record. + + + + + + + + + + OPTIONS + + + + + -4 + + + Use IPv4 only. + + + + + + -6 + + + Use IPv6 only. + + + + + + -b address#port + + + Set the source IP address of the query. + The address 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 "#<port>" + + + + + + -c class + + + Set the query class. The + default class is IN; other classes + are HS for Hesiod records or CH for Chaosnet records. + + + + + + -f file + + + Batch mode: dig reads a list of lookup + requests to process from the + given file. Each line in the file + should be organized in the same way they would be + presented as queries to + dig using the command-line interface. + + + + + + -i + + + Do reverse IPv6 lookups using the obsolete RFC 1886 IP6.INT + domain, which is no longer in use. Obsolete bit string + label queries (RFC 2874) are not attempted. + + + + + + -k keyfile + + + Sign queries using TSIG using a key read from the given file. + Key files can be generated using + + tsig-keygen8 + . + When using TSIG authentication with dig, + 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 key + and server statements in + named.conf. + + + + + + -m + + + Enable memory usage debugging. + + + + + + + -p port + + + Send the query to a non-standard port on the server, + instead of the default port 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. + + + + + + -q name + + + The domain name to query. This is useful to distinguish + the name from other arguments. + + + + + + -t type + + + The resource record type to query. It can be any valid query + type. If it is a resource record type supported in BIND 9, it + can be given by the type mnemonic (such as "NS" or "AAAA"). + The default query type is "A", unless the + 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, set the + type to ixfr=N. + The incremental zone transfer will contain the changes + made to the zone since the serial number in the zone's SOA + record was + N. + + + All resource record types can be expressed as "TYPEnn", where + "nn" is the number of the type. If the resource record type is + not supported in BIND 9, the result will be displayed as + described in RFC 3597. + + + + + + -u + + + Print query times in microseconds instead of milliseconds. + + + + + + -v + + + Print the version number and exit. + + + + + + -x addr + + + Simplified reverse lookups, for mapping addresses to + names. The addr is an IPv4 address + in dotted-decimal notation, or a colon-delimited IPv6 + address. When the is used, there is no + need to provide + the name, class + and type + arguments. dig automatically performs a + lookup for a name like + 94.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa and sets the + query type and class to PTR and IN respectively. IPv6 + addresses are looked up using nibble format under the + IP6.ARPA domain (but see also the + option). + + + + + + -y hmac:keyname:secret + + + Sign queries using TSIG with the given authentication key. + keyname is the name of the key, and + secret is the base64 encoded shared secret. + hmac is the name of the key algorithm; + valid choices are hmac-md5, + hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, + hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384, or + hmac-sha512. If hmac + is not specified, the default is hmac-md5 + or if MD5 was disabled hmac-sha256. + + + NOTE: You should use the option and + avoid the option, because + with the shared secret is supplied as + a command line argument in clear text. This may be visible + in the output from + + ps1 + + or in a history file maintained by the user's shell. + + + + + + + + QUERY OPTIONS + + + dig + 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. + + + + Each query option is identified by a keyword preceded by a plus sign + (+). Some keywords set or reset an + option. These may be preceded + by the string no to negate the meaning of + that keyword. Other + keywords assign values to options like the timeout interval. They + have the form . + Keywords may be abbreviated, provided the abbreviation is + unambiguous; for example, +cd is equivalent + to +cdflag. + The query options are: + + + + + + + + A synonym for +[no]aaonly. + + + + + + + + + Sets the "aa" flag in the query. + + + + + + + + + Display [do not display] the additional section of a + reply. The default is to display it. + + + + + + + + + Set [do not set] the AD (authentic data) bit in the + query. This requests the server to return whether + all of the answer and authority sections have all + been validated as secure according to the security + policy of the server. AD=1 indicates that all records + have been validated as secure and the answer is not + from a OPT-OUT range. AD=0 indicate that some part + of the answer was insecure or not validated. This + bit is set by default. + + + + + + + + + Set or clear all display flags. + + + + + + + + + Display [do not display] the answer section of a + reply. The default is to display it. + + + + + + + + + Display [do not display] the authority section of a + reply. The default is to display it. + + + + + + + + + Retry lookup with the new server cookie if a + BADCOOKIE response is received. + + + + + + + + + Attempt to display the contents of messages which are + malformed. The default is to not display malformed + answers. + + + + + + + + + Set the UDP message buffer size advertised using EDNS0 + to B bytes. The maximum and + minimum sizes of this buffer are 65535 and 0 respectively. + Values outside this range are rounded up or down + appropriately. Values other than zero will cause a + EDNS query to be sent. + + + + + + + + + Set [do not set] the CD (checking disabled) bit in + the query. This requests the server to not perform + DNSSEC validation of responses. + + + + + + + + + Display [do not display] the CLASS when printing the + record. + + + + + + + + + Toggles the printing of the initial comment in the + output identifying the version of dig + and the query options that have been applied. This + comment is printed by default. + + + + + + + + + Toggle the display of comment lines in the output. + The default is to print comments. + + + + + + + + + Send a COOKIE EDNS option, with optional + value. Replaying a COOKIE from a previous response will + allow the server to identify a previous client. The + default is . + + + +cookie is also set when +trace + is set to better emulate the default queries from a + nameserver. + + + + + + + + + Toggle the display of cryptographic fields in DNSSEC + records. The contents of these field are unnecessary + to debug most DNSSEC validation failures and removing + them makes it easier to see the common failures. The + default is to display the fields. When omitted they + are replaced by the string "[omitted]" or in the + DNSKEY case the key id is displayed as the replacement, + e.g. "[ key id = value ]". + + + + + + + + + Deprecated, treated as a synonym for + +[no]search + + + + + + + + + Requests DNSSEC records be sent by setting the DNSSEC + OK bit (DO) in the OPT record in the additional section + of the query. + + + + + + + + + Set the search list to contain the single domain + somename, as if specified in + a domain directive in + /etc/resolv.conf, and enable + search list processing as if the + +search option were given. + + + + + + + + Set the DSCP code point to be used when sending the + query. Valid DSCP code points are in the range + [0..63]. By default no code point is explicitly set. + + + + + + + + + Specify the EDNS version to query with. Valid values + are 0 to 255. Setting the EDNS version will cause + a EDNS query to be sent. + clears the remembered EDNS version. EDNS is set to + 0 by default. + + + + + + + + + Set the must-be-zero EDNS flags bits (Z bits) to the + specified value. Decimal, hex and octal encodings are + accepted. Setting a named flag (e.g. DO) will silently be + ignored. By default, no Z bits are set. + + + + + + + + + Enable / disable EDNS version negotiation. By default + EDNS version negotiation is enabled. + + + + + + + + + Specify EDNS option with code point + and optionally payload of as a + hexadecimal string. can be + either an EDNS option name (for example, + NSID or ECS), + or an arbitrary numeric value. + clears the EDNS options to be sent. + + + + + + + + + Send an EDNS Expire option. + + + + + + + + + Do not try the next server if you receive a SERVFAIL. + The default is to not try the next server which is + the reverse of normal stub resolver behavior. + + + + + + + + + Send a query with a DNS header without a question section. + The default is to add a question section. The query type + and query name are ignored when this is set. + + + + + + + + + Show [or do not show] the IP address and port number + that supplied the answer when the + +short option is enabled. If + short form answers are requested, the default is not + to show the source address and port number of the + server that provided the answer. + + + + + + + + + Process [do not process] IDN domain names on input. + This requires IDN SUPPORT to have been enabled at + compile time. The default is to process IDN input. + + + + + + + + + Convert [do not convert] puny code on output. + This requires IDN SUPPORT to have been enabled at + compile time. The default is to convert output. + + + + + + + + + Ignore truncation in UDP responses instead of retrying + with TCP. By default, TCP retries are performed. + + + + + + + + + Keep the TCP socket open between queries and reuse + it rather than creating a new TCP socket for each + lookup. The default is . + + + + + + + + + Allow mapped IPv4 over IPv6 addresses to be used. The + default is . + + + + + + + + + Print records like the SOA records in a verbose + multi-line format with human-readable comments. The + default is to print each record on a single line, to + facilitate machine parsing of the dig + output. + + + + + + + + + Set the number of dots that have to appear in + name to D + for it to be considered absolute. The default value + is that defined using the ndots statement in + /etc/resolv.conf, 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 + or directive in + /etc/resolv.conf if + is set. + + + + + + + + + Include an EDNS name server ID request when sending + a query. + + + + + + + + + When this option is set, dig + attempts to find the authoritative name servers for + the zone containing the name being looked up and + display the SOA record that each name server has for + the zone. + + + + + + + + + Print only one (starting) SOA record when performing + an AXFR. The default is to print both the starting + and ending SOA records. + + + + + + + + + Set [restore] the DNS message opcode to the specified + value. The default value is QUERY (0). + + + + + + + + + Print [do not print] the query as it is sent. By + default, the query is not printed. + + + + + + + + + Print [do not print] the question section of a query + when an answer is returned. The default is to print + the question section as a comment. + + + + + + + + + A synonym for +[no]recurse. + + + + + + + + + Toggle the setting of the RD (recursion desired) bit + in the query. This bit is set by default, which means + dig normally sends recursive + queries. Recursion is automatically disabled when + the +nssearch or + +trace query options are used. + + + + + + + + + Sets the number of times to retry UDP queries to + server to T instead of the + default, 2. Unlike +tries, + this does not include the initial query. + + + + + + + + + Toggle the display of per-record comments in the + output (for example, human-readable key information + about DNSKEY records). The default is not to print + record comments unless multiline mode is active. + + + + + + + + + Use [do not use] the search list defined by the + searchlist or domain directive in + resolv.conf (if any). The search + list is not used by default. + + + 'ndots' from resolv.conf (default 1) + which may be overridden by +ndots + determines if the name will be treated as relative + or not and hence whether a search is eventually + performed or not. + + + + + + + + + Provide a terse answer. The default is to print the + answer in a verbose form. + + + + + + + + + Perform [do not perform] a search showing intermediate + results. + + + + + + + + + Chase DNSSEC signature chains. Requires dig be compiled + with -DDIG_SIGCHASE. This feature is deprecated. + Use delv instead. + + + + + + + + + Split long hex- or base64-formatted fields in resource + records into chunks of W + characters (where W is rounded + up to the nearest multiple of 4). + +nosplit or + +split=0 causes fields not to + be split at all. The default is 56 characters, or + 44 characters when multiline mode is active. + + + + + + + + + This query option toggles the printing of statistics: + when the query was made, the size of the reply and + so on. The default behavior is to print the query + statistics. + + + + + + + + + Send (don't send) an EDNS Client Subnet option with the + specified IP address or network prefix. + + + dig +subnet=0.0.0.0/0, or simply + dig +subnet=0 for short, sends an EDNS + CLIENT-SUBNET option with an empty address and a source + prefix-length of zero, which signals a resolver that + the client's address information must + not be used when resolving + this query. + + + + + + + + + Use [do not use] TCP when querying name servers. The + default behavior is to use UDP unless a type + any or ixfr=N + query is requested, in which case the default is TCP. + AXFR queries always use TCP. + + + + + + + + + + Sets the timeout for a query to + T seconds. The default + timeout is 5 seconds. + An attempt to set T to less + than 1 will result + in a query timeout of 1 second being applied. + + + + + + + + + When chasing DNSSEC signature chains perform a top-down + validation. Requires dig be compiled with -DDIG_SIGCHASE. + This feature is deprecated. Use delv instead. + + + + + + + + + Toggle tracing of the delegation path from the root + name servers for the name being looked up. Tracing + is disabled by default. When tracing is enabled, + dig makes iterative queries to + resolve the name being looked up. It will follow + referrals from the root servers, showing the answer + from each server that was used to resolve the lookup. + + If @server is also specified, it affects only the + initial query for the root zone name servers. + + +dnssec is also set when +trace + is set to better emulate the default queries from a + nameserver. + + + + + + + + + Sets the number of times to try UDP queries to server + to T instead of the default, + 3. If T is less than or equal + to zero, the number of tries is silently rounded up + to 1. + + + + + + + + + Specifies a file containing trusted keys to be used + with . Each DNSKEY record + must be on its own line. + + If not specified, dig will look + for /etc/trusted-key.key then + trusted-key.key in the current + directory. + + Requires dig be compiled with -DDIG_SIGCHASE. + This feature is deprecated. Use delv instead. + + + + + + + + + Display [do not display] the TTL when printing the + record. + + + + + + + + + Display [do not display] the TTL in friendly human-readable + time units of "s", "m", "h", "d", and "w", representing + seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks. Implies +ttlid. + + + + + + + + + Print all RDATA in unknown RR type presentation format + (RFC 3597). The default is to print RDATA for known types + in the type's presentation format. + + + + + + + + + Use [do not use] TCP when querying name servers. This + alternate syntax to +[no]tcp + is provided for backwards compatibility. The "vc" + stands for "virtual circuit". + + + + + + + + + Set [do not set] the last unassigned DNS header flag in a + DNS query. This flag is off by default. + + + + + + + + + + MULTIPLE QUERIES + + + + The BIND 9 implementation of dig + supports + specifying multiple queries on the command line (in addition to + supporting the batch file option). Each of those + queries can be supplied with its own set of flags, options and query + options. + + + + In this case, each query 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. + + + + 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) can be + overridden by a query-specific set of query options. For example: + +dig +qr www.isc.org any -x 127.0.0.1 isc.org ns +noqr + + shows how dig could be used from the + command line + to make three lookups: an ANY query for www.isc.org, a + reverse lookup of 127.0.0.1 and a query for the NS records of + isc.org. + + A global query option of +qr is + applied, so + that dig shows the initial query it made + for each + lookup. The final query has a local query option of + +noqr which means that dig + will not print the initial query when it looks up the NS records for + isc.org. + + + + + IDN SUPPORT + + + If dig has been built with IDN (internationalized + domain name) support, it can accept and display non-ASCII domain names. + dig 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, use + parameters +noidnin and + +noidnout. + + + + FILES + + /etc/resolv.conf + + ${HOME}/.digrc + + + + SEE ALSO + + + delv1 + , + + host1 + , + + named8 + , + + dnssec-keygen8 + , + RFC 1035. + + + + BUGS + + + There are probably too many query options. + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
