b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri<p><span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span>
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri (Domain Entity Lookup &amp; Validation) is a tool for sending
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri DNS queries and validating the results, using the same internal
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri resolver and validator logic as <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>.
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri </p>
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri<p>
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> will send to a specified name server all
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri queries needed to fetch and validate the requested data; this
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri includes the original requested query, subsequent queries to follow
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri CNAME or DNAME chains, and queries for DNSKEY, DS and DLV records
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri to establish a chain of trust for DNSSEC validation.
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri It does not perform iterative resolution, but simulates the
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri behavior of a name server configured for DNSSEC validating and
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri forwarding.
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri </p>
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri<p>
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri By default, responses are validated using built-in DNSSEC trust
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri anchors for the root zone (".") and for the ISC DNSSEC lookaside
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri validation zone ("dlv.isc.org"). Records returned by
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> are either fully validated or
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri were not signed. If validation fails, an explanation of
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri the failure is included in the output; the validation process
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri can be traced in detail. Because <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> does
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri not rely on an external server to carry out validation, it can
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri be used to check the validity of DNS responses in environments
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri where local name servers may not be trustworthy.
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri </p>

948cd88e57e92a578228791377c106422dec227eagiri Unless it is told to query a specific name server,
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> will try each of the servers listed in
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri <code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>. If no usable server
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri addresses are found, <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> will send
b86efd96f8acd85ddaa930a2f0c1d664237e4aafagiri queries to the localhost addresses (127.0.0.1 for IPv4, ::1

<a name="id-1.14.4.10"></a><h2>QUERY OPTIONS</h2>
<p><span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span>
provides a number of query options which affect the way results are
displayed, and in some cases the way lookups are performed.
</p>
<p>
Each query option is identified by a keyword preceded by a plus sign
(<code class="literal">+</code>). Some keywords set or reset an
option. These may be preceded by the string
<code class="literal">no</code> to negate the meaning of that keyword.
Other keywords assign values to options like the timeout interval.
They have the form <code class="option">+keyword=value</code>.
The query options are:
</p>
<div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist">
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]cdflag</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Controls whether to set the CD (checking disabled) bit in
queries sent by <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span>. This may be useful
when troubleshooting DNSSEC problems from behind a validating
resolver. A validating resolver will block invalid responses,
making it difficult to retrieve them for analysis. Setting
the CD flag on queries will cause the resolver to return
invalid responses, which <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> can then
validate internally and report the errors in detail.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]class</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Controls whether to display the CLASS when printing
a record. The default is to display the CLASS.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]ttl</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Controls whether to display the TTL when printing
a record. The default is to display the TTL.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]rtrace</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Toggle resolver fetch logging. This reports the
name and type of each query sent by <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span>
in the process of carrying out the resolution and validation
process: this includes including the original query and
all subsequent queries to follow CNAMEs and to establish a
chain of trust for DNSSEC validation.
</p>
<p>
This is equivalent to setting the debug level to 1 in
the "resolver" logging category. Setting the systemwide
debug level to 1 using the <code class="option">-d</code> option will
product the same output (but will affect other logging
categories as well).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]mtrace</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Toggle message logging. This produces a detailed dump of
the responses received by <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> in the
process of carrying out the resolution and validation process.
</p>
<p>
This is equivalent to setting the debug level to 10
for the "packets" module of the "resolver" logging
category. Setting the systemwide debug level to 10 using
the <code class="option">-d</code> option will produce the same output
(but will affect other logging categories as well).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]vtrace</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Toggle validation logging. This shows the internal
process of the validator as it determines whether an
answer is validly signed, unsigned, or invalid.
</p>
<p>
This is equivalent to setting the debug level to 3
for the "validator" module of the "dnssec" logging
category. Setting the systemwide debug level to 3 using
the <code class="option">-d</code> option will produce the same output
(but will affect other logging categories as well).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]short</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Provide a terse answer. The default is to print the answer in a
verbose form.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]comments</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Toggle the display of comment lines in the output. The default
is to print comments.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]rrcomments</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Toggle the display of per-record comments in the output (for
example, human-readable key information about DNSKEY records).
The default is to print per-record comments.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]crypto</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Toggle the display of cryptographic fields in DNSSEC records.
The contents of these field are unnecessary to debug most DNSSEC
validation failures and removing them makes it easier to see
the common failures. The default is to display the fields.
When omitted they are replaced by the string "[omitted]" or
in the DNSKEY case the key id is displayed as the replacement,
e.g. "[ key id = value ]".
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]trust</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Controls whether to display the trust level when printing
a record. The default is to display the trust level.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]split[=W]</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Split long hex- or base64-formatted fields in resource
records into chunks of <em class="parameter"><code>W</code></em> characters
(where <em class="parameter"><code>W</code></em> is rounded up to the nearest
multiple of 4).
<em class="parameter"><code>+nosplit</code></em> or
<em class="parameter"><code>+split=0</code></em> causes fields not to be
split at all. The default is 56 characters, or 44 characters
when multiline mode is active.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]all</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Set or clear the display options

<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]multiline</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Print long records (such as RRSIG, DNSKEY, and SOA records)
in a verbose multi-line format with human-readable comments.

facilitate machine parsing of the <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span>
output.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]dnssec</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>

do so. Note that (unlike in <span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span>)
this does <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> control whether to
request DNSSEC records or whether to validate them.
DNSSEC records are always requested, and validation
will always occur unless suppressed by the use of
<code class="option">-i</code> or <code class="option">+noroot</code> and
<code class="option">+nodlv</code>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]root[=ROOT]</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Indicates whether to perform conventional (non-lookaside)
DNSSEC validation, and if so, specifies the
name of a trust anchor. The default is to validate using
a trust anchor of "." (the root zone), for which there is
a built-in key. If specifying a different trust anchor,
then <code class="option">-a</code> must be used to specify a file
containing the key.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]dlv[=DLV]</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Indicates whether to perform DNSSEC lookaside validation,
and if so, specifies the name of the DLV trust anchor.
The default is to perform lookaside validation using
a trust anchor of "dlv.isc.org", for which there is a
built-in key. If specifying a different name, then
<code class="option">-a</code> must be used to specify a file
containing the DLV key.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]tcp</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Controls whether to use TCP when sending queries.
The default is to use UDP unless a truncated
response has been received.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]unknownformat</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Print all RDATA in unknown RR type presentation format
