NAME
----
tor-resolve - resolve a hostname to an IP address via tor
SYNOPSIS
--------
**tor-resolve** [-4|-5] [-v] [-x] [-p __socksport__] __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.
**-p** __socksport__::
Override the default SOCKS port without setting the hostname.
SEE ALSO
--------
**tor**(1), **torify**(1). +
See doc/socks-extensions.txt in the Tor package for protocol details.
