SYNOPSIS

9          getquery [options] name
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This utility is a command-line wrapper around the val_res_query() func‐
13       tion.  It invokes the val_res_query() function with the given command-
14       line arguments and displays the returned data as a DNS-style response.
15       It also displays the validation status value for the records returned
16       for the query.
17
18       The exit status for this program is 1 if the answer received is
19       trusted, 2 if the answer received is validated, and -1 for an error.
20       The program returns 0 if the result was neither trusted nor validated.
21       The trusted and validated status values are obtained using the
22       val_istrusted() and val_isvalidated() functions from libval(3).
