# 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. _awl_ is still heavily
|
|
Work-In-Progress so some features may get added or removed.
|
|
|
|
