Short: DNS lookup tool with dig-like output Author: c-ares contributors; AmigaOS port by RLH Uploader: rlh_amiga protonmail com (RLH) Type: comm/tcp Version: 1.0.1 Requires: bsdsocket.library V3, IPv4 TCP/IP stack Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 2.0.4 Have you ever wanted to check where a domain points, find its mail servers, or understand why a name is not resolving on your Amiga? That is what dig is for: it lets you ask a DNS server directly and see the answer. adig is the DNS lookup command from c-ares, ported to classic m68k AmigaOS. Its command line and output are similar to BIND dig. It can query A, AAAA, MX, NS, PTR, SOA, SRV, TXT, CAA and other DNS record types. c-ares project: https://c-ares.org/ Things you can do ----------------- Find the IPv4 address for a site: adig @1.1.1.1 amiga.org A Find where email for a domain is delivered: adig @1.1.1.1 amiga.org MX Find the authoritative DNS servers for a domain: adig @1.1.1.1 amiga.org NS Look up the name belonging to an IP address: adig @1.1.1.1 -x 8.8.8.8 Check whether two DNS servers give the same answer: adig @192.168.1.1 amiga.org A adig @1.1.1.1 amiga.org A 1.1.1.1 is a public DNS server. 192.168.1.1 is an example router address; your router may use a different address. The archive includes two executables: adig-68000 Build for 68000 systems adig-020 Build for 68020/68030/68040/68060 systems International names are entered in their DNS form. For example, xn--mnchen-3ya.de represents a name whose second letter is a u with an umlaut. Double-click Install-adig for a guided text-based installation. It detects the CPU and recommends a build, while leaving the final choice and install destination to you. Manual installation is also possible. For example: Copy adig-68000 C:adig Start the TCP/IP stack before using adig. Roadshow may keep DHCP-provided DNS servers internally instead of writing them to name_resolution. If adig cannot find a server automatically, specify one explicitly: adig @192.168.1.1 amiga.org MX Requirements ------------ - Kickstart/AmigaOS 2.04 (V37) or newer - A 68000, 68020, 68030, 68040 or 68060 CPU - Roadshow or another bsdsocket.library V3 compatible TCP/IP stack - A configured and running IPv4 connection The full command-line reference, installation help and known limitations are in the included plain README.
