dnsip(1)

💖 dnsip — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to dnsip(1) from the General Commands Manual 🎀 this lil guy lives in the djbdns fam and its whole personality is lookup IP addresses — no cap, that's the name section, we're done, slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dnsip [ fqdn ]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one optional fqdn and she's ready 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea, bestie: dnsip resolves fqdn and prints the IP addresses of fqdn on a single line ✨ like, all of them, one line, no drama.

and if fqdn doesn't exist? she just prints a blank line. not an error, not a tantrum, just... nothing. silence. the void. iconic honestly 🙈

the way you can also list several fqdns — yes queen, multitask — and dnsip prints each result on a separate line 🦋

normally dnsip exits 0 💚 like a good well-behaved main character.

but listen 👀 if dnsip encounters a temporary problem that prevents it from determining the list of IP addresses, it prints an error message and exits 111 😭 so if you see 111 in your scripts, that's her telling you something went sideways temporarily.

and fr fr, the same comments apply to the other programs described here too 🫶 so this energy carries over, iykyk.
