The s6-dnsip6-filter program

s6-dnsip6-filter reads domain names on its standard input and prints the corresponding IPv6 addresses on its standard output.

Interface

     s6-dnsip6-filter [ -l maxlines ] [ -c maxconn ] [ -t timeout ] [ -f normalfmt ] [ -e errorfmt ]

Notes

s6-dnsip6-filter does not perform DNS resolutions itself. Instead, it forks a skadnsd child and sends it queries, getting the results asynchronously. The s6-dns filter programs have actually been written as example uses of the skadns library.
