For more advanced DNS queries use kdig +instead. +.SS Parameters +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +\fIname\fP +Is a domain name that is to be looked up. If the \fIname\fP is IPv4 or IPv6 +address the PTR query type is used. +.TP +\fIserver\fP +Is a name or an address of the nameserver to send a query to. The address +can be specified using [address]:port notation. If no server is specified, +the servers from \fB/etc/resolv.conf\fP are used. +.UNINDENT +.sp +If no arguments are provided, \fBkhost\fP prints a short help. +.SS Options +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +\fB\-4\fP +Use the IPv4 protocol only. +.TP +\fB\-6\fP +Use the IPv6 protocol only. +.TP +\fB\-a\fP +Send ANY query with verbose mode. +.TP +\fB\-d\fP +Enable debug messages. +.TP +\fB\-h\fP, \fB\-\-help\fP +Print the program help. +.TP +\fB\-r\fP +Disable recursion. +.TP +\fB\-T\fP +Use the TCP protocol. +.TP +\fB\-v\fP +Enable verbose output. +.TP +\fB\-V\fP, \fB\-\-version\fP +Print the program version. +.TP +\fB\-w\fP +Wait forever for the reply. +.TP +\fB\-c\fP \fIclass\fP +Set the query class (e.g. CH, CLASS4). The default class is IN. +.TP +\fB\-t\fP \fItype\fP +Set the query type (e.g. NS, IXFR=12345, TYPE65535). The default is to send 3 +queries (A, AAAA and MX). +.TP +\fB\-R\fP \fIretries\fP +The number (>=0) of UDP retries to query a nameserver. The default is 1. +.TP +\fB\-W\fP \fIwait\fP +The time to wait for a reply in seconds. This timeout applies to each query +try. The default is 2 seconds. +.UNINDENT +.SH EXIT VALUES +.sp +Exit status of 0 means successful operation.
