Responses are displayed in the order in which they are received, not in the order the corresponding queries were sent\&. +.PP +\fBmdig\fR +options are a subset of the +\fBdig\fR +options, and are divided into "anywhere options" which can occur anywhere, "global options" which must occur before the query name (or they are ignored with a warning), and "local options" which apply to the next query on the command line\&. +.PP +The +{@server} +option is a mandatory global option\&. It is the name or IP address of the name server to query\&. (Unlike +\fBdig\fR, this value is not retrieved from +/etc/resolv\&.conf\&.) It can be an IPv4 address in dotted\-decimal notation, an IPv6 address in colon\-delimited notation, or a hostname\&. When the supplied +\fIserver\fR +argument is a hostname, +\fBmdig\fR +resolves that name before querying the name server\&. +.PP +\fBmdig\fR +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\&. +.PP +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 +\fB+keyword=value\fR\&. +.SH "ANYWHERE OPTIONS" +.PP +The +\fB\-f\fR +option makes +\fBmdig\fR +operate in batch mode by reading a list of lookup requests to process from the file +\fIfilename\fR\&. 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 +\fBmdig\fR +using the command\-line interface\&. +.PP +The +\fB\-h\fR +causes +\fBmdig\fR +to print the detailed help with the full list of options and exit\&. +.PP +The +\fB\-v\fR +causes +\fBmdig\fR +to print the version number and exit\&. +.SH "GLOBAL OPTIONS" +.PP +The +\fB\-4\fR +option forces +\fBmdig\fR +to only use IPv4 query transport\&. +.PP +The +\fB\-6\fR +option forces +\fBmdig\fR +to only use IPv6 query transport\&. +.PP +The +\fB\-b\fR +option sets the source IP address of the query to +\fIaddress\fR\&. This must be a valid address on one of the host\*(Aqs network interfaces or "0\&.0\&.0\&.0" or "::"\&. An optional port may be specified by appending "#<port>" +.PP +The +\fB\-m\fR +option enables memory usage debugging\&. +.PP +The +\fB\-p\fR +option is used when a non\-standard port number is to be queried\&. +\fIport#\fR +is the port number that +\fBmdig\fR +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\&. +.PP +The global query options are: +.PP +\fB+[no]additional\fR +.RS 4 +Display [do not display] the additional section of a reply\&. The default is to display it\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]all\fR +.RS 4 +Set or clear all display flags\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]answer\fR +.RS 4 +Display [do not display] the answer section of a reply\&.

The default is to not display malformed answers\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]cl\fR +.RS 4 +Display [do not display] the CLASS when printing the record\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]comments\fR +.RS 4 +Toggle the display of comment lines in the output\&. The default is to print comments\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]continue\fR +.RS 4 +Continue on errors (e\&.g\&. timeouts)\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]crypto\fR +.RS 4 +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 ]"\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+dscp[=value]\fR +.RS 4 +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\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]multiline\fR +.RS 4 +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 +\fBmdig\fR +output\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]question\fR +.RS 4 +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\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]rrcomments\fR +.RS 4 +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\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]short\fR +.RS 4 +Provide a terse answer\&. The default is to print the answer in a verbose form\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+split=W\fR +.RS 4 +Split long hex\- or base64\-formatted fields in resource records into chunks of +\fIW\fR +characters (where +\fIW\fR +is rounded up to the nearest multiple of 4)\&. +\fI+nosplit\fR +or +\fI+split=0\fR +causes fields not to be split at all\&. The default is 56 characters, or 44 characters when multiline mode is active\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]tcp\fR +.RS 4 +Use [do not use] TCP when querying name servers\&. The default behavior is to use UDP\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]ttlid\fR +.RS 4 +Display [do not display] the TTL when printing the record\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]ttlunits\fR +.RS 4 +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\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]vc\fR +.RS 4 +Use [do not use] TCP when querying name servers\&. This alternate syntax to +\fI+[no]tcp\fR +is provided for backwards compatibility\&. The "vc" stands for "virtual circuit"\&. +.RE +.SH "LOCAL OPTIONS" +.PP +The +\fB\-c\fR +option sets the query class to +\fIclass\fR\&. It can be any valid query class which is supported in BIND 9\&. The default query class is "IN"\&. +.PP +The +\fB\-t\fR +option sets the query type to +\fItype\fR\&. It can be any valid query type which is supported in BIND 9\&. The default query type is "A", unless the +\fB\-x\fR +option is supplied to indicate a reverse lookup with the "PTR" query type\&. +.PP +The +\fB\-i\fR +option sets the reverse domain for IPv6 addresses to IP6\&.INT\&. +.PP +Reverse lookups \(em mapping addresses to names \(em are simplified by the +\fB\-x\fR +option\&. +\fIaddr\fR +is an IPv4 address in dotted\-decimal notation, or a colon\-delimited IPv6 address\&. +\fBmdig\fR +automatically performs a lookup for a query name like +11\&.12\&.13\&.10\&.in\-addr\&.arpa +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 +\fB\-i\fR +option\&. +.PP +The local query options are: +.PP +\fB+[no]aaflag\fR +.RS 4 +A synonym for +\fI+[no]aaonly\fR\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]aaonly\fR +.RS 4 +Sets the "aa" flag in the query\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]adflag\fR +.RS 4 +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\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+bufsize=B\fR +.RS 4 +Set the UDP message buffer size advertised using EDNS0 to +\fIB\fR +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\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]cdflag\fR +.RS 4 +Set [do not set] the CD (checking disabled) bit in the query\&. This requests the server to not perform DNSSEC validation of responses\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]cookie\fR\fB[=####]\fR +.RS 4 +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 +\fB+nocookie\fR\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]dnssec\fR +.RS 4 +Requests DNSSEC records be sent by setting the DNSSEC OK bit (DO) in the OPT record in the additional section of the query\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]edns[=#]\fR +.RS 4 +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\&. +\fB+noedns\fR +clears the remembered EDNS version\&. EDNS is set to 0 by default\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]ednsflags[=#]\fR +.RS 4 +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\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]ednsopt[=code[:value]]\fR +.RS 4 +Specify EDNS option with code point +\fBcode\fR +and optionally payload of +\fBvalue\fR +as a hexadecimal string\&. +\fB+noednsopt\fR +clears the EDNS options to be sent\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]expire\fR +.RS 4 +Send an EDNS Expire option\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]nsid\fR +.RS 4 +Include an EDNS name server ID request when sending a query\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]recurse\fR +.RS 4 +Toggle the setting of the RD (recursion desired) bit in the query\&. This bit is set by default, which means +\fBmdig\fR +normally sends recursive queries\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+retry=T\fR +.RS 4 +Sets the number of times to retry UDP queries to server to +\fIT\fR +instead of the default, 2\&. Unlike +\fI+tries\fR, this does not include the initial query\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]subnet=addr[/prefix\-length]\fR +.RS 4 +Send (don\*(Aqt send) an EDNS Client Subnet option with the specified IP address or network prefix\&. +.sp +\fBmdig +subnet=0\&.0\&.0\&.0/0\fR, or simply +\fBmdig +subnet=0\fR +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\*(Aqs address information must +\fInot\fR +be used when resolving this query\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+timeout=T\fR +.RS 4 +Sets the timeout for a query to +\fIT\fR +seconds\&. The default timeout is 5 seconds for UDP transport and 10 for TCP\&. An attempt to set +\fIT\fR +to less than 1 will result in a query timeout of 1 second being applied\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+tries=T\fR +.RS 4 +Sets the number of times to try UDP queries to server to +\fIT\fR +instead of the default, 3\&. If +\fIT\fR +is less than or equal to zero, the number of tries is silently rounded up to 1\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+udptimeout=T\fR +.RS 4 +Sets the timeout between UDP query retries\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]unknownformat\fR +.RS 4 +Print all RDATA in unknown RR type presentation format (RFC 3597)\&. The default is to print RDATA for known types in the type\*(Aqs presentation format\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB+[no]zflag\fR +.RS 4 +Set [do not set] the last unassigned DNS header flag in a DNS query\&.
