the dnsdbq man page has examples:
# only responses after Aug 22, 2015 (midnight)
$ dnsdbq ... -A 2015-08-22
# only responses before Jan 22, 2013 (midnight)
$ dnsdbq ... -B 2013-01-22
# only responses from 2015 (midnight to midnight)
$ dnsdbq ... -B 2016-01-01 -A 2015-01-01
# only responses after 2015-08-22 14:36:10
$ dnsdbq ... -A "2015-08-22 14:36:10"
# only responses from the last 60 minutes
$ dnsdbq ... -A "-3600"
# only responses after "just now"
$ dnsdbq -f ... -A "-3600"
# batch mode with only responses after "just now", even if feeding inputs
to dnsdbq in batch mode takes hours.
$ date +%s
1485284066
$ dnsdbq ... -A 1485284066
Maybe the word "only" implies we should be using -c strict mode? Should we add -c to the text or change "only responses" to "responses that include "?
Separately, a user requests that we explain that:
- -c can only be specified once,
- -c makes both ends of the time expression strict, and
- maybe say that having one side strict and one side loose is not as valuable a use case so is not supported?
