DNS lookups with dig
SLICC's built-in dig resolves DNS records over DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH):
dig <name> [type] [@server] [+opts] [--json]
dig <type> <name> [@server] [+opts] [--json]
dig -x <address> [@server] [+opts] [--json]
dig -v | dig --version
The name and supported record type may appear in either order. A lone positional
is always the name and defaults to type A. Supported types are A, AAAA,
MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, SOA, SRV, PTR, and CAA.
Resolver selection
| Resolver | Supported @server values |
|---|
| Cloudflare | @1.1.1.1, @1.0.0.1, @cloudflare-dns.com |
| Google | @8.8.8.8, @8.8.4.4, @dns.google |
| Quad9 | @9.9.9.9, @149.112.112.112, @dns.quad9.net |
Cloudflare is the default. Any other @server falls back to Cloudflare and
prints a note on stderr because arbitrary DNS servers cannot be queried over
the built-in DoH transport.
Flags and output
-x <address> performs an IPv4 or IPv6 reverse lookup as a PTR query.-v and --version print DiG 9.20.0-slicc (DNS-over-HTTPS) and exit.+short prints one answer value per line; --json prints the resolver response as JSON.
They are mutually exclusive.- Other
+opts, such as +noall and +answer, are accepted as no-ops.
