💖 XMPP-DNS 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the xmpp-dns(1) page — it's a General Commands Manual situation and honestly? it's giving "tiny tool, big energy" 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

xmpp-dns — a CLI tool to check XMPP SRV records. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xmpp-dns [-46cfstv] [--client-dtls value] [--client-stls value] [--dot]
[--force-fallback] [--help] [--no-color] [--resolver value]
[--server-dtls value] [--server-stls value] [--timeout value]
[--tls-version value] [--version] xmpp-server

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so it's literally a little CLI tool that checks SRV records for XMPP 👑 and no cap, it does more than just show you the records — it can also try to connect to the server, and even test StartTLS and direct TLS for you. obsessed fr fr ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -4 — resolve IPv4 💙
  • -6 — resolve IPv6 💜
  • -c, --client — show client SRV records 🫶
  • --client-dtls=[value] — add an arbitrary target for C2S with direct TLS, in the form domain:port. you can invoke it several times, go off 🌈
  • --client-stls=[value] — add an arbitrary target for C2S with StartTLS, in the form domain:port. also invokable several times ✨
  • --dot — use DoT, see also --resolver 🧚
  • -f, --fallback — check fallback (standard ports on A/AAAA records) if no SRV records are provided 👀
  • --force-fallback — additionally check fallback (standard ports on A/AAAA records) even if SRV records ARE provided. forceful. main character energy 🔥
  • --help — show help 🎀
  • --no-color — don't colorize output (sad but valid) 🙈
  • --resolver — custom resolver, e.g. "1.1.1.1" for common DNS, or "5.1.66.255#dot.ffmuc.net" for usage with "--dot" ⭐
  • -s, --server — show server SRV records 💖
  • --server-dtls=[value] — add an arbitrary target for S2S with direct TLS, in the form domain:port. can be invoked several times 💫
  • --server-stls=[value] — add an arbitrary target for S2S with StartTLS, in the form domain:port. can be invoked several times 💫
  • -t — test connection and certificates. xmpp-dns will print [OK] for passed tests, [Not OK] for failed tests, and [WARN] if all tests are passed but the certificate expires within the next 14 days 😭 (we love a warning)
  • --timeout=[value] — connection timeout in seconds. Default: 60 ⏱️
  • --tls-version=[value] — minimal TLS version. 10 (TLSv1.0), 11 (TLSv1.1), 12 (TLSv1.2) or 13 (TLSv1.3). Default: 12 🔐

🐚 SHELL COMPLETION 🐚

💜 ZSH

bestie. there are no shell completions yet (contributions welcome, fr fr 🥺) but for zsh you can automatically create completions from --help which might work good enough ✨

just place the following in your ~/.zshrc or ~/.zshrc.local:

compdef _gnu_generic xmpp-dns

🐟 FISH

there are no shell completions yet either, but FISH can generate them from the man page with the following command:

fish_update_completions
