SYNOPSIS

       tor-resolve [-4|-5] [-v] [-x] hostname [sockshost[:socksport]]

DESCRIPTION

       tor-resolve  is  a simple script to connect to a SOCKS proxy that knows
       about the SOCKS RESOLVE command, hand it a hostname, and return  an  IP
       address.

OPTIONS

       -v Display verbose output.


       -x     Perform  a  reverse  lookup:  get  the  PTR  record  for an IPv4
              address.


       -5     Use the SOCKS5 protocol. (Default)


       -4     Use the SOCKS4a protocol rather than the default  SOCKS5  proto-
              col.  Doesn't support reverse DNS.
