NAME
awl - DNS lookup tool
awl - DNS lookup tool
SYNOPSIS
awl [ OPTIONS ] name [ @server ] [ type ], where
name is the query to make (example: froth.zone)
@server is the server to query (example: dns.froth.zone)
type is the DNS resource type (example: AAAA)
awl [ OPTIONS ] name [ @server ] [ type ], where
name is the query to make (example: froth.zone)
@server is the server to query (example: dns.froth.zone)
type is the DNS resource type (example: AAAA)
DESCRIPTION
awl (awls want licorice) is a simple tool designed to make DNS queries, much like the venerable dig(1). An awl is a tool used to make small holes, typically used in leatherworking.
awl is designed to be a more "modern" version of drill(1) by including some more recent RFCs and output options.
awl (awls want licorice) is a simple tool designed to make DNS queries,
much like the venerable dig(1). An awl is a tool used to make small

When no arguments are given, awl will perform an NS query on the root ('.').
awl is designed to be a more "modern" version of drill(1) by including
some more recent RFCs and output options.
When a nameserver is not given, awl will query a random system nameserver. If one cannot be found, awl will query localhost.
When no arguments are given, awl will perform an NS query on the root
('.').
When a nameserver is not given, awl will query a random system
nameserver. If one cannot be found, awl will query localhost.
OPTIONS
Anything in [brackets] is optional.
-D, --dnssec, +dnssec
Enable DNSSEC. This needs to be manually enabled.
Anything in [brackets] is optional.
-v[=int]
Set verbosity Accepted values are as follows:
o 0: Only log errors.
o 1: Log warnings. This is the default.
o 2: Log information Default when specifying just -v.
o 3: Log information useful for debugging.
-D, --dnssec, +dnssec
Setting a value lower than 0 disables logging entirely.
Enable DNSSEC. This needs to be manually enabled.
By default, specifying just -v sets the verbosity to 2 (info).
-v[=int]

Print the version and exit.
Set verbosity Accepted values are as follows:

Show a "short" help message.
- 0: Only log errors.

Sets the port to query. Default ports listed below.
o 53 for UDP and TCP
o 853 for TLS and QUIC
o 443 for HTTPS
- 3: Log information useful for debugging.
-q, --query domain
Domain to query (eg. example.com)
Setting a value lower than 0 disables logging entirely.
-c, --class class
DNS class to query (eg. IN, CH) The default is IN.
By default, specifying just -v sets the verbosity to 2 (info).
-t, --qType type
DNS type to query (eg. A, AAAA, NS) The default is A.
