The s6-dnsip4 program

+ +

+ s6-dnsip4 finds the IPv4 addresses associated to a domain name. +

+ +

Interface

+ +

+     s6-dnsip4 [ -q ] [ -r ] [ -t timeout ] domain
+

+ +

s6-dnsip4 makes an A query for the name domain. It +waits for the result and prints the obtained IPv4 addresses, one per line, +then exits 0.
If the domain exists but no relevant field has been found, it exits 1.
If the DNS answered but no answer is available, it prints a relevant +error message and exits 2.
By default, s6-dnsip4 looks for DNS cache addresses in the +/etc/resolv.conf file. If the DNSCACHEIP environment variable is set +and contains a list of IP (v4 or v6) addresses, separated by commas, +semicolons, spaces, tabs, newlines or carriage returns, then this list +is used instead.

+ +

Options

+ +

-q : qualify. Qualifies domain before resolution, +according to suffixes found in /etc/resolv.conf. If the DNSQUALIFY +environment variable is set and contains a list of suffixes separated by spaces, +tabs, newlines or carriage returns, then this list is used instead. By +default, no qualification is used: if domain is not a FQDN, a dot +is just appended to it.
-r : random. By default, the program does not sort the +result, but prints them in the order received from the DNS. With this +option, it performs a random permutation on the results before printing +them.
-t timeout : if the resolution takes more +than timeout milliseconds, then it exits 99 right away with an error +message. By default, timeout is 0, which means no timeout.
