Each query can have +individual *settings*, or it can be specified globally via *common-settings*, +which must precede *query* specification. + +Parameters +.......... + +*query* + *name* | **-q** *name* | **-x** *address* | **-G** *tapfile* + +*common-settings*, *settings* + [*query_class*] [*query_type*] [**@**\ *server*]... [*options*] + +*name* + Is a domain name that is to be looked up. + +*server* + Is a domain name or an IPv4 or IPv6 address of the nameserver to send a query + to. An additional port can be specified using address:port ([address]:port + for IPv6 address), address@port, or address#port notation. If no server is + specified, the servers from :file:`/etc/resolv.conf` are used. + +If no arguments are provided, :program:`kdig` sends NS query for the root +zone. + +Query classes +............. + +A *query_class* can be either a DNS class name (IN, CH) or generic class +specification **CLASS**\ *XXXXX* where *XXXXX* is a corresponding decimal +class number. The default query class is IN. + +Query types +........... + +A *query_type* can be either a DNS resource record type +(A, AAAA, NS, SOA, DNSKEY, ANY, etc.) or one of the following: + +**TYPE**\ *XXXXX* + Generic query type specification where *XXXXX* is a corresponding decimal + type number. + +**AXFR** + Full zone transfer request. + +**IXFR=**\ *serial* + Incremental zone transfer request for specified starting SOA serial number. + +**NOTIFY=**\ *serial* + Notify message with a SOA serial hint specified. + +**NOTIFY** + Notify message with a SOA serial hint unspecified. + +The default query type is A. + +Options +....... + +**-4** + Use the IPv4 protocol only. + +**-6** + Use the IPv6 protocol only. + +**-b** *address* + Set the source IP address of the query to *address*. The address must be a + valid address for local interface or :: or 0.0.0.0. An optional port + can be specified in the same format as the *server* value. + +**-c** *class* + An explicit *query_class* specification. See possible values above. + +**-d** + Enable debug messages. + +**-h**, **--help** + Print the program help. + +**-k** *keyfile* + Use the TSIG key stored in a file *keyfile* to authenticate the request. The + file must contain the key in the same format as accepted by the + **-y** option. + +**-p** *port* + Set the nameserver port number or service name to send a query to. The default + port is 53. + +**-q** *name* + Set the query name. An explicit variant of *name* specification. If no *name* + is provided, empty question section is set. + +**-t** *type* + An explicit *query_type* specification. See possible values above. + +**-V**, **--version** + Print the program version. + +**-x** *address* + Send a reverse (PTR) query for IPv4 or IPv6 *address*. The correct name, class + and type is set automatically. + +**-y** [*alg*:]\ *name*:*key* + Use the TSIG key named *name* to authenticate the request. The *alg* + part specifies the algorithm (the default is hmac-sha256) and *key* specifies + the shared secret encoded in Base64. + +**-E** *tapfile* + Export a dnstap trace of the query and response messages received to the + file *tapfile*. + +**-G** *tapfile* + Generate message output from a previously saved dnstap file *tapfile*. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **multiline** + Wrap long records to more lines and improve human readability. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **short** + Show record data only. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **generic** + Use the generic representation format when printing resource record types + and data. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **crypto** + Display the DNSSEC keys and signatures values in hexdump, instead of omitting them. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **aaflag** + Set the AA flag. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **tcflag** + Set the TC flag. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **rdflag** + Set the RD flag. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **recurse** + Same as **+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **rdflag** + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **raflag** + Set the RA flag. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **zflag** + Set the zero flag bit. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **adflag** + Set the AD flag. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **cdflag** + Set the CD flag. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **dnssec** + Set the DO flag. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **all** + Show all packet sections. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **qr** + Show the query packet. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **header** + Show the packet header. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **comments** + Show commented section names. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **opt** + Show the EDNS pseudosection. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **question** + Show the question section. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **answer** + Show the answer section. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **authority** + Show the authority section. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **additional** + Show the additional section. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **tsig** + Show the TSIG pseudosection. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **stats** + Show trailing packet statistics. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **class** + Show the DNS class. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **ttl** + Show the TTL value. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **tcp** + Use the TCP protocol (default is UDP for standard query and TCP for AXFR/IXFR). + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **fastopen** + Use TCP Fast Open (default with TCP). + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **ignore** + Don't use TCP automatically if a truncated reply is received. + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **tls** + Use TLS with the Opportunistic privacy profile (:rfc:`7858#section-4.1`). + +**+**\ [\ **no**\ ]\ **tls-ca**\[\ =\ *FILE*\] + Use TLS with a certificate validation.
