Doggo

Output Formats

Doggo provides flexible output formats to suit different use cases, from human-readable colored output to machine-parsable JSON.

Colored Output

By default, Doggo uses a colored, tabular format for easy readability.

Terminal window
doggo mrkaran.dev
NAME            TYPE    CLASS   TTL     ADDRESS         NAMESERVER
mrkaran.dev.    A       IN      300s    104.21.7.168    127.0.0.53:53
mrkaran.dev.    A       IN      300s    172.67.187.239  127.0.0.53:53

To disable colored output, use the --color=false flag:

Terminal window
doggo mrkaran.dev --color=false

JSON Output

For scripting and programmatic use, Doggo supports JSON output using the --json or -J flag:

Terminal window
doggo internetfreedom.in --json | jq
{
  "responses": {
    "answers": [
      {
        "name": "internetfreedom.in.",
        "type": "A",
        "class": "IN",
        "ttl": "22s",
        "address": "104.27.158.96",
        "rtt": "37ms",
        "nameserver": "127.0.0.1:53"
      },
      // ... more entries ...
    ],
    "queries": [
      {
        "name": "internetfreedom.in.",
        "type": "A",
        "class": "IN"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Short Output

For a more concise view, use the --short flag to show only the response section:

Terminal window
doggo mrkaran.dev --short
104.21.7.168
172.67.187.239
