# awl

`awl` is a command-line DNS client, much like
[`drill`](https://github.com/NLnetLabs/ldns),
[`dig`](https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/v9_18_3/manpages.html#dig-dns-lookup-utility),
[`dog`](https://github.com/ogham/dog),
[`doggo`](https://github.com/mr-karan/doggo),
or [`q`](https://github.com/natesales/q)

This was made as my first major experiment with Go, so there are probably things that can be improved

The excellent [dns](https://github.com/miekg/dns) library for Go does most of the heavy
lifting.

## What awl should do

- Be a drop-in replacement for dig (and maybe drill)
- Support DNS RFCs

## What awl won't do
- Print to files or read from files
- Colour outputs
