Description:
Dig (domain information groper) is a flexible command line tool which
can be used to gather information from the Domain Name System servers.
Dig has two modes: simple interactive mode which makes a single query,
and batch which executes a query for each in a list of several query
lines. All query options are accessible from the command line.
-- quoted from the man page by Steve Hotz in the dig.2.0 distribution
Advertised architectures:
The included 2.0.1 distribution (dig.tar) is somewhat dated and only
explicitly supports a small numer of systems (sun3, sparc, vax,
microvax, and IBM RT). Current 2.2 version (ftp-able with BIND)
has been more widely ported.

Note:
Included with dig is doc-2.0. Doc (domain obscenity
control) is a program which diagnoses misbehaving domains by
sending queries off to the appropriate DNS nameservers, and
performing simple analysis on the responses. It consists of
shell and awk scripts that require dig.
Updated note:
- Old version (2.0) of 'doc' is mentioned in the dig index entry.
'doc' is also updated and currently maintained by someone else;
