drill: Get all types of records for a given domain name.
$ drill any ${example-com}
try on your machine
The command "drill any ${example-com}" is using the tool "drill" to perform a DNS lookup on the domain "example.com".
The "drill" command is a DNS query tool used to retrieve information from the Domain Name System (DNS). It is generally used in Linux or Unix systems.
In this specific command, "any" is the query type specified, requesting the dig command to retrieve all available DNS record types for the given domain. It includes records such as A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, SOA, and more.
The domain "example.com" is just a placeholder used in the command. In practice, you would replace it with the actual domain name you want to perform the DNS lookup on.
