dnsq — query a content DNS server using the DNS protocol
dnsq {t} {fqdn} {s}
dnsq looks up resource records of type t for fqdn by making a Domain Name System request to a server at s.
It prints the results in a human-readable format, more compact than the dig(1) output format.
s is expected to be the IP address or domain name of a content DNS server, and the request is marked as non-recursive.
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.
Note that if you want to perform a zone transfer you should use axfr-get(1), not dnsq axfr .
