Wig

A simple and lightweight dns client written in C

How to

usage: wig [@server] [options] domain [qtype]

For simple usage, just type the domain name followed by the record type: example.com AAAA. Or you can just type the domain, example.com, and it will default to the A record.

If you want to use a custom dns server, just specify the ip or domain after the @ like @1.1.1.1 or @ns1.google.com.

If you want to specify a port, you can add -p port_num.

Finally, if you want to force tcp, you can add -t.
