.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.B Unbound\-host
|
|
uses the unbound validating resolver to query for the hostname and display
|
|
results. With the \fB\-v\fR option it displays validation
|
|
status: secure, insecure, bogus (security failure).
|
|
.P
|
|
By default it reads no configuration file whatsoever. It attempts to reach
|
|
the internet root servers. With \fB\-C\fR an unbound config file and with
|
|
\fB\-r\fR resolv.conf can be read.
|
|
.P
|
|
The available options are:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I hostname
|
|
This name is resolved (looked up in the DNS).
|
|
If a IPv4 or IPv6 address is given, a reverse lookup is performed.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-h
|
|
Show the version and commandline option help.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
Enable verbose output and it shows validation results, on every line.
|
|
Secure means that the NXDOMAIN (no such domain name), nodata (no such data)
|
|
or positive data response validated correctly with one of the keys.
|
|
Insecure means that that domain name has no security set up for it.
|
|
Bogus (security failure) means that the response failed one or more checks,
|
|
it is likely wrong, outdated, tampered with, or broken.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-d
|
|
Enable debug output to stderr. One \-d shows what the resolver and validator
|
|
are doing and may tell you what is going on. More times, \-d \-d, gives a
|
|
lot of output, with every packet sent and received.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c \fIclass
|
|
Specify the class to lookup for, the default is IN the internet class.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-t \fItype
|
|
Specify the type of data to lookup. The default looks for IPv4, IPv6 and
|
|
mail handler data, or domain name pointers for reverse queries.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-y \fIkey
|
|
Specify a public key to use as trust anchor. This is the base for a chain
|
|
of trust that is built up from the trust anchor to the response, in order
|
|
to validate the response message. Can be given as a DS or DNSKEY record.
|
|
For example \-y "example.com DS 31560 5 1 1CFED84787E6E19CCF9372C1187325972FE546CD".
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-D
|
|
Enables DNSSEC validation. Reads the root anchor from the default configured
|
|
root anchor at the default location, \fI@UNBOUND_ROOTKEY_FILE@\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-f \fIkeyfile
|
|
Reads keys from a file. Every line has a DS or DNSKEY record, in the format
|
|
as for \-y. The zone file format, the same as dig and drill produce.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-F \fInamedkeyfile
|
|
Reads keys from a BIND\-style named.conf file. Only the trusted\-key {}; entries
|
|
are read.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-C \fIconfigfile
|
|
Uses the specified unbound.conf to prime
|
|
.IR libunbound (3).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-r
|
|
Read /etc/resolv.conf, and use the forward DNS servers from there (those could
|
|
have been set by DHCP). More info in
|
|
.IR resolv.conf (5).
|
|
Breaks validation if those servers do not support DNSSEC.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-4
|
|
Use solely the IPv4 network for sending packets.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-6
|
|
Use solely the IPv6 network for sending packets.
|
|
.SH "EXAMPLES"
|
|
Some examples of use. The keys shown below are fakes, thus a security failure
|
|
is encountered.
|
|
.P
|
|
$ unbound\-host www.example.com
|
|
.P
|
|
$ unbound\-host \-v \-y "example.com DS 31560 5 1 1CFED84787E6E19CCF9372C1187325972FE546CD" www.example.com
|
|
.P
|
|
$ unbound\-host \-v \-y "example.com DS 31560 5 1 1CFED84787E6E19CCF9372C1187325972FE546CD" 192.0.2.153
|
|
.SH "EXIT CODE"
|
|
The unbound\-host program exits with status code 1 on error,
|
|
0 on no error. The data may not be available on exit code 0, exit code 1
|
|
means the lookup encountered a fatal error.
