tor-resolve - resolve a hostname to an IP address via tor
tor-resolve [-4|-5] [-v] [-x] hostname [sockshost[:socksport]]
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.
Display verbose output.
Perform a reverse lookup: get the PTR record for an IPv4 address.
Use the SOCKS5 protocol. (Default)
Use the SOCKS4a protocol rather than the default SOCKS5 protocol. Doesn't support reverse DNS.
tor(1), torify(1).
See doc/socks-extensions.txt in the Tor package for protocol details.
