# NAME
|
|
|
|
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)
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
*awl* (*a*wls *w*ant *l*icorice) 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.
|
|
|
|
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 the localhost.
|
|
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
*-4*
|
|
Force only IPv4
|
|
|
|
*-6*
|
|
Force only IPv6
|
|
|
|
*-c*, *--class* _class_
|
|
DNS class to query (eg. IN, CH)
|
|
The default is IN.
|
|
|
|
*-h*
|
|
Show a "short" help message.
|
|
|
|
*-p*, *--port* _port_
|
|
Sets the port to query. Default ports listed below.
|
|
- _53_ for *UDP* and *TCP*
|
|
- _853_ for *TLS* and *QUIC*
|
|
- _443_ for *HTTPS*
|
|
|
|
*-q*, *--query* _domain_
|
|
Explicitly set a domain to query (eg. example.com)
|
|
|
|
*-t*, *--qType* _type_
|
|
Explicitly set a DNS type to query (eg. A, AAAA, NS)
|
|
The default is A.
|
|
|
|
*-v*[=_int_]
|
|
Set verbosity of output
|
|
Accepted values are as follows:
|
|
- _0_: Only log errors.
|
|
- _1_: Log warnings. *This is the default.*
|
|
- _2_: Log information *Default when specifying just* _-v_.
|
|
- _3_: Log information useful for debugging.
|
|
|
|
Setting a value lower than 0 disables logging entirely.
|
|
|
|
By default, specifying just *-v* sets the verbosity to 2 (info).
|
|
|
|
*-x*, *--reverse*
|
|
Do a reverse lookup. Sets default *type* to PTR.
|
|
*awl* automatically makes an IP or phone number canonical.

Print the version and exit.
|
|
|
|

Send an EDNS Client Subnet option with the specified address.
|
|

0.5 seconds is the minimum.

Ignore TLS validation when performing a DNS query.
|
|
|
|
*--trace*, *+trace*
|
|
Trace the path of the query from the root, acting like its own resolver.
|
|
This option enables DNSSEC.
|
|
When *@server* is specified, this will only affect the initial query.
|
|
|
|
*--retries* _int_, *+tries*=_int_, *+retry*=_int_
|
|
Set the number of retries.
|
|
Retry is one more than tries, dig style.
|
|
|
|
*-X*, *--xml*, *+*[no]*xml*
|
|
Print the query results as XML.
|
|
|
|
*-y*, *--yaml*, *+*[no]*yaml*

|
|
them as JSON and disable DNSSEC verification.

|
awl +short example.com AAAA @1.1.1.1
|

|
|
|
|
