NAME

       gnunet-gns — access to GNU Name System

SYNOPSIS

       gnunet-gns  [-c  FILENAME  |  --config=FILENAME]  [-h  |  --help]  [-L  LOGLEVEL  |  --loglevel=LOGLEVEL]
                  [-l   FILENAME   |   --logfile=FILENAME]   [-r   |   --raw]   [-t    TYPE    |    --type=TYPE]
                  [-u NAME | --lookup=NAME] [-v | --version]

DESCRIPTION

       gnunet-gns can be used to lookup and process GNU Name Service names.

       -c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME
               Use the configuration file FILENAME.

       -h | --help
               Print short help on options.

       -L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL
               Use LOGLEVEL for logging.  Valid values are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING and ERROR.

       -l FILENAME | --logfile=FILENAME
               Write logs to FILENAME.

       -r | --raw
               No  unneeded  output.   This  is a quiet mode where only important information is displayed.  For
               example a lookup for an IP address will only yield the IP address, no descriptive text.

       -t TYPE | --type=TYPE
               Resource Record Type (TYPE) to look for.  Supported TYPE's are: A, AAAA, CNAME, NS,  PKEY,  PSEU,
               TLSA, SRV, SOA, MX, LEHO, VPN, REV, PTR, TXT.  Defaults to "A".

       -u NAME | --lookup=NAME
               Name to lookup.  Resolve the specified name using the GNU Name System.

       -T TIMEOUT | --timeout=TIMEOUT
               How  much  time  to  wait  for a resolution to finish.  Example: "5s" for 5 seconds or "3m" for 3
               minutes.  Defaults to "forever" (No timeout).

       -v | --version
               Print GNUnet version number.
