dog - Man Page

• Lookup the IP(s) associated with a hostname (A records): dog example.com
• Query the MX records type associated with a given domain name: dog example.com MX
• Specify a specific DNS server to query (e.g. Cloudflare): dog example.com MX @1.1.1.1
• Query over TCP rather than UDP: dog example.com MX @1.1.1.1 --tcp
• Query the MX records type associated with a given domain name over TCP using explicit arguments: dog --query example.com --type MX --nameserver 1.1.1.1 --tcp
• Lookup the IP(s) associated with a hostname (A records) using DNS over HTTPS (DoH): dog example.com --https @https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query

dog <command> <subcommand> [options]

dog - Sheepdog is a distributed storage system for QEMU. It provides highly available block level storage volumes to virtual machines. Sheepdog supports advanced volume management features such as snapshot, cloning, and thin provisioning. The architecture of Sheepdog is fully symmetric; there is no central node such as a meta-data server.

The server daemon is called sheep(8).  A command line utility is available via dog(8).  QEMU virtual machines use the sheep daemon via a block driver available in qemu(1).

For more information, run 'dog <command> <subcommand> --help'.
