# adns
adns is a resolver library for C (and C++) programs, and a collection of useful DNS resolver utilities for use from the command line and in scripts:
* adnslogres is a much faster version of Apache's logresolv program.
* adnsresfilter is a filter which copies its input to its output,
replacing IP addresses by the corresponding names, without unduly
delaying the output. For example, you can usefully pipe the output
of netstat -n, tcpdump -ln, and the like, into it.
* adnshost is a general-purpose DNS lookup utility which can be used
easily in from the command line and from shell scripts to do
simple lookups. In a more advanced mode it can be used as a
general-purpose DNS helper program for scripting languages which
can invoke and communicate with subprocesses. See the [1]adnshost
usage message for a summary of its capabilities.
