Yes, just another DNS tool like nslookup. You do a man on dig and read the man page, or look at the command line switches.
You use it when you are querying DNS servers for information and/or troubleshooting DNS configurations (just like nslookup).

BTW: Many people really dig dig. I still dig nslookup, dig?

DNSSEC-CHECKDS(8)						       BIND9							 DNSSEC-CHECKDS(8)

NAME
dnssec-checkds - A DNSSEC delegation consistency checking tool. SYNOPSIS
dnssec-checkds [-l domain] [-f file] [-d dig path] [-D dsfromkey path] {zone} dnssec-dsfromkey [-l domain] [-f file] [-d dig path] [-D dsfromkey path] {zone} DESCRIPTION
dnssec-checkds verifies the correctness of Delegation Signer (DS) or DNSSEC Lookaside Validation (DLV) resource records for keys in a specified zone. OPTIONS
-f file If a file is specified, then the zone is read from that file to find the DNSKEY records. If not, then the DNSKEY records for the zone are looked up in the DNS. -l domain Check for a DLV record in the specified lookaside domain, instead of checking for a DS record in the zone's parent. For example, to check for DLV records for "example.com" in ISC's DLV zone, use: dnssec-checkds -l dlv.isc.org example.com -d dig path Specifies a path to a dig binary. Used for testing. -D dsfromkey path Specifies a path to a dnssec-dsfromkey binary. Used for testing. SEE ALSO
