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.

DIAGNOSTICS
