Anyone else catch this? The opening paragraph says, "..
dig can operate in interactive command line mode or in batch mode by reading requests from an operating system file.."
So, today in class, I fired up my Kali Linux VM, issued just a CLI command of, "dig" alone, and hit Enter.
This binary does not go into an interactive mode similar to nslookup or ftp, where the user can then enter several commands in sequence at a (sub) prompt such as "> " - QUESTION: Should the wording be clarified? Peace!

The expansion of the acronym was removed from the dig man page in 2017; the last release to use that phrase in its documentation was BIND 9.11.2. The name of the tool is just "dig" now, nothing more. If a citation is needed, the current man page is here. I'm considering adding a note about the history of the tool's name somewhere in the text, but I'm not sure the information is really all that useful. EACH ( talk) 00:19, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
