adig: Display extra [d]ebugging output.
$ adig -d ${example-com}
try on your machine

The command "adig -d ${example-com}" is using the adig tool to perform a DNS (Domain Name System) query on the domain name "example.com" in debug mode.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "adig" is the name of the tool or the command itself.
  • "-d" is an option or flag used to specify debug mode. It enables the display of more detailed information about the DNS query process.
  • "${example-com}" is a placeholder for the actual domain name being queried. In this case, it indicates that the command should be executed for the domain name "example.com". The "${}" syntax is often used to represent variables or placeholders in command scripts.

So, when you run this command, it will perform a DNS query on the domain "example.com" and provide detailed debug information about the process.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
