tinydns-get — query a content DNS server's database file directly
tinydns-get {t} {fqdn} [addr]
tinydns-get looks up resource records of type t for fqdn by directly reading a content DNS server's data.cdb file, in exactly the same way that tinydns(1) and axfrdns(1) obtain their results from that same file.
It prints the results in a compact human-readable format, the same as dnsq(1).
data.cdb is located in the current directory.
t may be a name or a number.
Currently recognized names are:
any,
a,
ns,
mx,
ptr,
txt,
cname,
soa,
hinfo,
rp,
sig,
key,
aaaa,
axfr, and
srv.
If addr is supplied tinydns-get simulates making a query from that location; this matters if data.cdb differentiates among clients in different locations.
