kdig: Query a specific DNS record type associated with a given domain name.
$ kdig ${example-com} ${select}
try on your machine
The command "kdig" is a network administration tool used for querying Domain Name System (DNS) servers. It is similar to the commonly used "dig" command.
In the specific command you mentioned, "kdig ${example-com} ${select}", the curly braces "${example-com}" and "${select}" are placeholders for actual values.
Assuming you replace the placeholders with real domain names or DNS-related arguments, the command will perform a DNS query using the kdig tool. It will send a query to the DNS server for the domain specified as ${example-com} and perform the specific action mentioned with ${select}. The details of what the ${select} argument represents can vary depending on the specific implementation or purpose of the tool being used.
