NAME

       dt-getquery - command-line test program for the val_res_query() function

SYNOPSIS

          dt-getquery [options] name

DESCRIPTION

       This utility is a command-line wrapper around the val_res_query() function.  It invokes
       the val_res_query() function with the given command-line arguments and displays the
       returned data as a DNS-style response.  It also displays the validation status value for
       the records returned for the query.

       The exit status for this program is 1 if the answer received is trusted, 2 if the answer
       received is validated, and -1 for an error.  The program returns 0 if the result was
       neither trusted nor validated. The trusted and validated status values are obtained using
       the val_istrusted() and val_isvalidated() functions from libval(3).
