I have searched for "dig return codes" and also looked at the man
page, leading me to nothing definitive.
Does `dig` have return codes that I can use to make some form of
automated tests?
foo=`dig NS example.com @ns2.example.com +short +time=2 +tries=1`
echo $foo
; <<>> DiG 9.4.3-P1 <<>> NS example.com @ns2.example.com +short +time=2
+tries=1 ;;
global options: printcmd ;;
connection timed out; no servers could be reached
I do not know, nor would I want to have to know, all the possible
return strings I may get back. My needs are simple, I believe any
ANSWER of > 0 I would determine to be true, any timeout of any form I
would determine to be false.
Can anyone point me to docs on return codes, or is this going to
amount to string parsing? If it does, how much deviation on return
messages are there from the various dig versions that have been
released?
Thank you.
