0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley is a multiple/pipelined query version of <span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span>:
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley instead of waiting for a response after sending each query,
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley it begins by sending all queries. Responses are displayed in
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley the order in which they are received, not in the order the
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley corresponding queries were sent.

0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley <span class="command"><strong>mdig</strong></span> options are a subset of the
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley <span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span> options, and are divided into "anywhere
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley options" which can occur anywhere, "global options" which must
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley occur before the query name (or they are ignored with a warning),
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley and "local options" which apply to the next query on the command

0014d6342b0d50ae37126ac16d5bf821d02ffff7David Lawrence The {@server} option is a mandatory global
0014d6342b0d50ae37126ac16d5bf821d02ffff7David Lawrence option. It is the name or IP address of the name server to query.
0014d6342b0d50ae37126ac16d5bf821d02ffff7David Lawrence (Unlike <span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span>, this value is not retrieved from

0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley provides a number of query options which affect
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley the way in which lookups are made and the results displayed. Some of
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley these set or reset flag bits in the query header, some determine which
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley sections of the answer get printed, and others determine the timeout
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley and retry strategies.

0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley Each query option is identified by a keyword preceded by a plus
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley sign (<code class="literal">+</code>). Some keywords set or reset an
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley option. These may be preceded by the string <code class="literal">no</code>
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley to negate the meaning of that keyword. Other keywords assign
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley values to options like the timeout interval. They have the
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley form <code class="option">+keyword=value</code>.

The <code class="option">-b</code> option sets the source IP address of the
query to <em class="parameter"><code>address</code></em>. This must be a valid
address on one of the host's network interfaces or "0.0.0.0" or
"::". An optional port may be specified by appending
"#&lt;port&gt;"
</p>
<p>
The <code class="option">-m</code> option enables memory usage debugging.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="option">-p</code> option is used when a non-standard port
number is to be queried.
<em class="parameter"><code>port#</code></em> is the port number
that <span class="command"><strong>mdig</strong></span> will send its queries instead of
the standard DNS port number 53. This option would be used to
test a name server that has been configured to listen for
queries on a non-standard port number.

<a name="id-1.14.3.10"></a><h2>LOCAL OPTIONS</h2>
<p>
The <code class="option">-c</code> option sets the query class to
<em class="parameter"><code>class</code></em>. It can be any valid query class
which is supported in BIND 9. The default query class is "IN".
</p>
<p>
The <code class="option">-t</code> option sets the query type to
<em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>. It can be any valid query type
which is supported in BIND 9. The default query type is "A",
unless the <code class="option">-x</code> option is supplied to indicate
a reverse lookup with the "PTR" query type.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="option">-i</code> option sets the reverse domain for
IPv6 addresses to IP6.INT.
</p>
<p>
Reverse lookups &#8212; mapping addresses to names &#8212; are
simplified by the <code class="option">-x</code> option.
<em class="parameter"><code>addr</code></em> is an IPv4
address in dotted-decimal notation, or a colon-delimited IPv6 address.
<span class="command"><strong>mdig</strong></span> automatically performs a lookup for a
query name like <code class="literal">11.12.13.10.in-addr.arpa</code> and
sets the query type and class to PTR and IN respectively.
By default, IPv6 addresses are looked up using nibble format
under the IP6.ARPA domain. To use the older RFC1886 method
using the IP6.INT domain specify the <code class="option">-i</code> option.
</p>
<p>
The local query options are:
</p>
<div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist">
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]aaflag</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
A synonym for <em class="parameter"><code>+[no]aaonly</code></em>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]aaonly</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Sets the "aa" flag in the query.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]adflag</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Set [do not set] the AD (authentic data) bit in the
query. This requests the server to return whether
all of the answer and authority sections have all
been validated as secure according to the security
policy of the server. AD=1 indicates that all records
have been validated as secure and the answer is not
from a OPT-OUT range. AD=0 indicate that some part
of the answer was insecure or not validated. This
bit is set by default.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+bufsize=B</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Set the UDP message buffer size advertised using EDNS0
to <em class="parameter"><code>B</code></em> bytes. The maximum and
minimum sizes of this buffer are 65535 and 0 respectively.
Values outside this range are rounded up or down
appropriately. Values other than zero will cause a
EDNS query to be sent.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]cdflag</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Set [do not set] the CD (checking disabled) bit in
the query. This requests the server to not perform
DNSSEC validation of responses.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]cookie[<span class="optional">=####</span>]</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Send a COOKIE EDNS option, with optional value.
Replaying a COOKIE from a previous response will allow
the server to identify a previous client. The default
is <code class="option">+nocookie</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]dnssec</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Requests DNSSEC records be sent by setting the DNSSEC
OK bit (DO) in the OPT record in the additional section
of the query.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]edns[=#]</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specify the EDNS version to query with. Valid values
are 0 to 255. Setting the EDNS version will cause
a EDNS query to be sent. <code class="option">+noedns</code>
clears the remembered EDNS version. EDNS is set to
0 by default.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]ednsflags[=#]</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Set the must-be-zero EDNS flags bits (Z bits) to the
specified value. Decimal, hex and octal encodings are
accepted. Setting a named flag (e.g. DO) will silently be
ignored. By default, no Z bits are set.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]ednsopt[=code[:value]]</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specify EDNS option with code point <code class="option">code</code>
and optionally payload of <code class="option">value</code> as a
hexadecimal string. <code class="option">+noednsopt</code>
clears the EDNS options to be sent.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]expire</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Send an EDNS Expire option.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]nsid</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Include an EDNS name server ID request when sending
a query.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]recurse</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Toggle the setting of the RD (recursion desired) bit
in the query. This bit is set by default, which means
<span class="command"><strong>mdig</strong></span> normally sends recursive
queries.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+retry=T</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Sets the number of times to retry UDP queries to
server to <em class="parameter"><code>T</code></em> instead of the
default, 2. Unlike <em class="parameter"><code>+tries</code></em>,
this does not include the initial query.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]subnet=addr[/prefix-length]</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Send (don't send) an EDNS Client Subnet option with the
specified IP address or network prefix.
</p>
<p>
<span class="command"><strong>mdig +subnet=0.0.0.0/0</strong></span>, or simply
<span class="command"><strong>mdig +subnet=0</strong></span> for short, sends an EDNS
client-subnet option with an empty address and a source
prefix-length of zero, which signals a resolver that
the client's address information must
<span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> be used when resolving
this query.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+timeout=T</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Sets the timeout for a query to
<em class="parameter"><code>T</code></em> seconds. The default
timeout is 5 seconds for UDP transport and 10 for TCP.
An attempt to set <em class="parameter"><code>T</code></em> to less
than 1 will result
in a query timeout of 1 second being applied.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+tries=T</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Sets the number of times to try UDP queries to server
to <em class="parameter"><code>T</code></em> instead of the default,
3. If <em class="parameter"><code>T</code></em> is less than or equal
to zero, the number of tries is silently rounded up
to 1.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+udptimeout=T</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Sets the timeout between UDP query retries.
</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
(RFC 3597). The default is to print RDATA for known types
in the type's presentation format.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]zflag</code></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Set [do not set] the last unassigned DNS header flag in a
DNS query. This flag is off by default.
