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). + For protocol details, see: https://spec.torproject.org/socks-extensions AUTHORS ------- Roger Dingledine , Nick Mathewson .
