This is a command that uses the "dig" tool to query the DNS records of a domain name and retrieve the TXT records associated with it. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "dig" is a command line tool used for querying DNS (Domain Name System) servers.
  • "+short" option is used to display only the essential information in a concise format, without additional details.
  • "${domain}" is a placeholder that represents the domain name you want to query. You need to replace it with the actual domain name you want to retrieve the TXT records for.
  • "txt" is the parameter specifying that you want to retrieve TXT records specifically.

Overall, this command allows you to quickly retrieve the TXT records of a domain name. TXT records are often used for various purposes such as domain verification, SPF (Sender Policy Framework) records for email authentication, or storing arbitrary text data associated with a domain.
