The skadnsip program

skadnsip reads a domain name on its command line and resolves it. It prints the IP adress, followed by a newline, on stdout, or a blank line if the resolution failed, and exits 0. If it encounters an error, it prints a message to stderr and exits 111.

Interface

 skadnsip fqdn
prints fqdn's address to stdout.

Notes

skadnsip is rather useless: dnsip is faster and accepts more than one argument on the command line.

What is interesting in skadnsip is its source code: it shows a simple example of using the skadns library.
