# NAME
tnds-query - DNS query client
# SYNOPSIS
__tdns query__ [*options*] *dns-name*
# DESCRIPTION
__tdns query__ provides a subset of the functionality found in the
`dig` utility which is distributed as part of the ISC BIND suite. Its
functionality is currently quite limited compared to `dig`, but
extending it to be a reasonable replacement for common usage is
planned.
# OPTIONS
\--resolver=*address*
: DNS server to send queries to. If not specified, the resolver name
will be determined based on the contents of `/etc/resolv.conf`,
using the first `nameserver` entry given therein.
\--tcp
: Use TCP for all DNS requests.
# EXAMPLES
Query for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses associated with a DNS name:
tdns query -t A,AAAA example.org
# BUGS
- Only the record data is shown, similar to `dig +short`.
- Only record data of for types `A`, `AAAA` and `TXT` are displayed
properly.
