Linux command to inspect TXT records of a domain [closed]
Is there a linux shell command that I can use to inspect the TXT records of a domain?
Dig will also do it quite nicely: dig -t txt example.com and if you add the +short option you get just the txt record in quote marks with no other cruft.
The host(1) command has a nice, terse output:
$ host -t txt google.com
google.com descriptive text "v=spf1 include:_netblocks.google.com ip4:216.73.93.70/31 ip4:216.73.93.72/31 ~all"
$ wajig findfile $(which host)
bind9-host: /usr/bin/host
$
With dig(1) I "have" to add the "+short" option all the time as well.
