# dnsi – A tool to investigate the DNS
`dnsi` is a command line tool to investigate various aspects of the
Domain Name System (DNS).
It is currently in a very early state and will expand over the coming
months.
The tool contains a number of commands. Currently, these are:
* `dnis query` sends a query to a name server or the system’s default
resolver.
* `dnsi man` displays the man page for any command.
