adig

Display A record (default) from DNS for a hostname

$ adig [example.com]

$ adig -d [example.com]

$ adig -s [1.2.3.4] [example.com]

$ adig -T [port] [example.com]

$ adig -U [port] [example.com]

adig [-d] [-s server] [-T port] [-U port] [-t type] hostname

adig prints information received from Domain Name System (DNS) servers. It performs DNS lookups and displays the results, similar to dig but built on the c-ares asynchronous resolver library.
The tool supports querying specific record types such as A, AAAA, MX, NS, CNAME, SOA, and others. It can direct queries to a particular DNS server and use custom TCP or UDP port numbers for the connection. Debug output is available for troubleshooting resolution issues.

-d

Display extra debugging output

Connect to a specific DNS server IP address

Use a specific TCP port to connect to the DNS server

Use a specific UDP port to connect to the DNS server

Query for a specific record type (A, AAAA, MX, NS, etc.)

Part of the c-ares library tools. May have different features compared to the more common dig command from BIND.

Part of the c-ares asynchronous DNS resolver library, originally forked from the ares library and actively maintained.
