Hi,
We just added libunbound with unbound-host to our project, cross-compiled using
Buildroot. Thanks for the excellent unbound project.
It would be nice if unbound-host had a -s option to limit output to just the
result, as "+short" does with 'dig'. Has this been requested before ?
For example, we are querying for a CNAME, currently...
cname="$(unbound-host -t CNAME "$host" | sed -n -r -e 's/^.* CNAME .* ([^
]+)$/\1/p')"
But, this would be better...
cname="$(unbound-host -s -t CNAME "$host")"
Additionally, on an error no standard output should be generated, which makes
this suggestion more than a couple line patch.
Possibly option -s would call short_output() instead of pretty_output() ? Or
just add to pretty_output() ?
To be clear:
--
printf(" -r read forwarder information from
/etc/resolv.conf\n");
printf(" breaks validation if the fwder does not
do DNSSEC.\n");
+ printf(" -s short form of answer, no other
output.\n");
printf(" -v be more verbose, shows nodata and
security.\n");
--
Reasonable ?
Lonnie
