# The `dig` command
|
|
|
|
dig - DNS lookup utility
|
|
|
|
The `dig` is a flexible tool for interrogating DNS name servers. It performs DNS lookups and displays the answers that are returned from the name server(s) that
|
|
were queried.
|
|
|
|
### Examples:
|
|
|
|
1. Dig is a network administration command-line tool for querying the Domain Name System.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dig google.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. The system will list all google.com DNS records that it finds, along with the IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dig google.com ANY
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Syntax:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dig [server] [name] [type] [q-type] [q-class] {q-opt}
|
|
{global-d-opt} host [@local-server] {local-d-opt}
|
|
[ host [@local-server] {local-d-opt} [...]]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
