TOR-RESOLVE(1) Tor Manual TOR-RESOLVE(1)
NAME
tor-resolve - resolve a hostname to an IP address via tor
SYNOPSIS
tor-resolve [-4|-5] [-v] [-x] hostname [sockshost[:socksport]]
DESCRIPTION
tor-resolve is a simple script to connect to a SOCKS proxy that knows about the SOCKS RESOLVE command, hand it a hostname, and return an IP
address.
By default, tor-resolve uses the Tor server running on 127.0.0.1 on SOCKS port 9050. If this isn't what you want, you should specify an
explicit sockshost and/or socksport on the command line.
OPTIONS
-v
Display verbose output.
-x
Perform a reverse lookup: get the PTR record for an IPv4 address.
-5
Use the SOCKS5 protocol. (Default)
-4
Use the SOCKS4a protocol rather than the default SOCKS5 protocol. Doesn't support reverse DNS.

See doc/socks-extensions.txt in the Tor package for protocol details.
