Responses are displayed in the order in which they are +received, not in the order the corresponding queries were sent. +.sp +\fBmdig\fP options are a subset of the \fBdig\fP options, and are divided +into \(dqanywhere options,\(dq which can occur anywhere, \(dqglobal options,\(dq which +must occur before the query name (or they are ignored with a warning), +and \(dqlocal options,\(dq which apply to the next query on the command line. +.sp +The \fB@server\fP option is a mandatory global option. It is the name or IP +address of the name server to query. (Unlike \fBdig\fP, this value is not +retrieved from \fB/etc/resolv.conf\fP\&.) It can be an IPv4 address in +dotted\-decimal notation, an IPv6 address in colon\-delimited notation, or +a hostname. When the supplied \fBserver\fP argument is a hostname, +\fBmdig\fP resolves that name before querying the name server. +.sp +\fBmdig\fP 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. +.sp +Each query option is identified by a keyword preceded by a plus sign +(\fB+\fP). Some keywords set or reset an option. These may be preceded by +the string \fBno\fP to negate the meaning of that keyword. Other keywords +assign values to options like the timeout interval. They have the form +\fB+keyword=value\fP\&. +.SH ANYWHERE OPTIONS +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \fB\-f\fP +This option makes \fBmdig\fP operate in batch mode by reading a list +of lookup requests to process from the file \fBfilename\fP\&. 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\fP using the command\-line interface. +.TP +.B \fB\-h\fP +This option causes \fBmdig\fP to print detailed help information, with the full list +of options, and exit. +.TP +.B \fB\-v\fP +This option causes \fBmdig\fP to print the version number and exit. +.UNINDENT +.SH GLOBAL OPTIONS +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \fB\-4\fP +This option forces \fBmdig\fP to only use IPv4 query transport. +.TP +.B \fB\-6\fP +This option forces \fBmdig\fP to only use IPv6 query transport. +.TP +.B \fB\-b address\fP +This option sets the source IP address of the query to +\fBaddress\fP\&. This must be a valid address on one of the host\(aqs network +interfaces or \(dq0.0.0.0\(dq or \(dq::\(dq. An optional port may be specified by +appending \(dq#<port>\(dq +.TP +.B \fB\-m\fP +This option enables memory usage debugging. +.TP +.B \fB\-p port#\fP +This option is used when a non\-standard port number is to be +queried. \fBport#\fP is the port number that \fBmdig\fP sends its +queries to, instead of the standard DNS port number 53. This option is +used to test a name server that has been configured to listen for +queries on a non\-standard port number. +.UNINDENT +.sp +The global query options are: +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \fB+[no]additional\fP +This option displays [or does not display] the additional section of a reply. The +default is to display it. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]all\fP +This option sets or clears all display flags. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]answer\fP +This option displays [or does not display] the answer section of a reply. The default +is to display it. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]authority\fP +This option displays [or does not display] the authority section of a reply. The +default is to display it. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]besteffort\fP +This option attempts to display [or does not display] the contents of messages which are malformed. The +default is to not display malformed answers. +.TP +.B \fB+burst\fP +This option delays queries until the start of the next second. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]cl\fP +This option displays [or does not display] the CLASS when printing the record. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]comments\fP +This option toggles the display of comment lines in the output. The default is to +print comments. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]continue\fP +This option toggles continuation on errors (e.g. timeouts). +.TP +.B \fB+[no]crypto\fP +This option toggles the display of cryptographic fields in DNSSEC records. The +contents of these fields 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 \(dq[omitted]\(dq; in the DNSKEY case, the +key ID is displayed as the replacement, e.g., \fB[ key id = value ]\fP\&. +.TP +.B \fB+dscp[=value]\fP +This option sets 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. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]multiline\fP +This option toggles printing of 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\fP output. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]question\fP +This option prints [or does not print] the question section of a query when an answer +is returned. The default is to print the question section as a +comment. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]rrcomments\fP +This option toggles 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. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]short\fP +This option provides [or does not provide] a terse answer. The default is to print the answer in a +verbose form. +.TP +.B \fB+split=W\fP +This option splits long hex\- or base64\-formatted fields in resource records into +chunks of \fBW\fP characters (where \fBW\fP is rounded up to the nearest +multiple of 4). \fB+nosplit\fP or \fB+split=0\fP causes fields not to be +split. The default is 56 characters, or 44 characters when +multiline mode is active. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]tcp\fP +This option uses [or does not use] TCP when querying name servers. The default behavior +is to use UDP. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]ttlid\fP +This option displays [or does not display] the TTL when printing the record. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]ttlunits\fP +This option displays [or does not display] the TTL in friendly human\-readable time +units of \(dqs\(dq, \(dqm\(dq, \(dqh\(dq, \(dqd\(dq, and \(dqw\(dq, representing seconds, minutes, +hours, days, and weeks. This implies +ttlid. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]vc\fP +This option uses [or does not use] TCP when querying name servers. This alternate +syntax to \fB+[no]tcp\fP is provided for backwards compatibility. The +\fBvc\fP stands for \(dqvirtual circuit\(dq. +.UNINDENT +.SH LOCAL OPTIONS +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \fB\-c class\fP +This option sets the query class to \fBclass\fP\&. It can be any valid +query class which is supported in BIND 9. The default query class is +\(dqIN\(dq. +.TP +.B \fB\-t type\fP +This option sets the query type to \fBtype\fP\&. It can be any valid +query type which is supported in BIND 9. The default query type is \(dqA\(dq, +unless the \fB\-x\fP option is supplied to indicate a reverse lookup with +the \(dqPTR\(dq query type. +.TP +.B \fB\-x addr\fP +Reverse lookups \- mapping addresses to names \- are simplified by +this option. \fBaddr\fP is an IPv4 address in dotted\-decimal +notation, or a colon\-delimited IPv6 address. \fBmdig\fP automatically +performs a lookup for a query name like \fB11.12.13.10.in\-addr.arpa\fP 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. +.UNINDENT +.sp +The local query options are: +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \fB+[no]aaflag\fP +This is a synonym for \fB+[no]aaonly\fP\&. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]aaonly\fP +This sets the \fBaa\fP flag in the query. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]adflag\fP +This sets [or does 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 +indicates that some part of the answer was insecure or not validated. +This bit is set by default. +.TP +.B \fB+bufsize=B\fP +This sets the UDP message buffer size advertised using EDNS0 to \fBB\fP +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 cause a EDNS query to be +sent. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]cdflag\fP +This sets [or does not set] the CD (checking disabled) bit in the query. This +requests the server to not perform DNSSEC validation of responses. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]cookie=####\fP +This sends [or does not send] a COOKIE EDNS option, with an optional value. Replaying a COOKIE +from a previous response allows the server to identify a previous +client. The default is \fB+nocookie\fP\&. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]dnssec\fP +This requests that DNSSEC records be sent by setting the DNSSEC OK (DO) bit in +the OPT record in the additional section of the query. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]edns[=#]\fP +This specifies [or does not specify] the EDNS version to query with. Valid values are 0 to 255. +Setting the EDNS version causes an EDNS query to be sent. +\fB+noedns\fP clears the remembered EDNS version. EDNS is set to 0 by +default. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]ednsflags[=#]\fP +This sets the must\-be\-zero EDNS flag bits (Z bits) to the specified value. +Decimal, hex, and octal encodings are accepted. Setting a named flag +(e.g. DO) is silently ignored. By default, no Z bits are set. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]ednsopt[=code[:value]]\fP +This specifies [or does not specify] an EDNS option with code point \fBcode\fP and an optional payload +of \fBvalue\fP as a hexadecimal string. \fB+noednsopt\fP clears the EDNS +options to be sent. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]expire\fP +This toggles sending of an EDNS Expire option. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]nsid\fP +This toggles inclusion of an EDNS name server ID request when sending a query. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]recurse\fP +This toggles the setting of the RD (recursion desired) bit in the query. +This bit is set by default, which means \fBmdig\fP normally sends +recursive queries. +.TP +.B \fB+retry=T\fP +This sets the number of times to retry UDP queries to server to \fBT\fP +instead of the default, 2. Unlike \fB+tries\fP, this does not include +the initial query. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]subnet=addr[/prefix\-length]\fP +This sends [or does not send] an EDNS Client Subnet option with the specified IP +address or network prefix. +.TP +.B \fBmdig +subnet=0.0.0.0/0\fP, or simply \fBmdig +subnet=0\fP +This 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\fP be used when resolving this query. +.TP +.B \fB+timeout=T\fP +This sets the timeout for a query to \fBT\fP seconds. The default timeout is +5 seconds for UDP transport and 10 for TCP. An attempt to set \fBT\fP +to less than 1 results in a query timeout of 1 second being +applied. +.TP +.B \fB+tries=T\fP +This sets the number of times to try UDP queries to server to \fBT\fP +instead of the default, 3. If \fBT\fP is less than or equal to zero, +the number of tries is silently rounded up to 1. +.TP +.B \fB+udptimeout=T\fP +This sets the timeout between UDP query retries to \fBT\fP\&. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]unknownformat\fP +This prints [or does not print] all RDATA in unknown RR\-type presentation format (see \fI\%RFC 3597\fP). +The default is to print RDATA for known types in the type\(aqs +presentation format. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]yaml\fP +This toggles printing of the responses in a detailed YAML format. +.TP +.B \fB+[no]zflag\fP +This sets [or does not set] the last unassigned DNS header flag in a DNS query. +This flag is off by default. +.UNINDENT +.SH SEE ALSO +.sp +\fBdig(1)\fP, \fI\%RFC 1035\fP\&. +.SH AUTHOR +Internet Systems Consortium +.SH COPYRIGHT +2023, Internet Systems Consortium +.\" Generated by docutils manpage writer. +. |
