9k stars and 5yrs old: https://github.com/harelba/q Why not call it like dnsq or dq like jq ( https://stedolan.github.io/jq/ ) did?

There's already a thing called `dnsq`, it's part of the djbdns suite (along with dnsqr for recursive queries).

I actually miss it, now that pretty much all of djb's tools have fallen out of both fashion and maintenance, it was a much better -- and simpler -- tool than dig or nslookup.

See also "dog" which I've been using for a while, works well. https://github.com/ogham/dog I actually already have a "q" alias, I think single-letter aliases are probably quite common. Are there many other well-known utilities with a single-letter name? Edit: Turns out I have one installed, "z", a universal archiver front-end. https://legacy.cs.indiana.edu/~kinzler/z/

I have n, a node version manager.

> Are there many other well-known utilities with a single-letter name? There is a `w` command. It's kind of like a mix of `who` and `uptime`. https://linux.die.net/man/1/w

The `w` command is more of a `what` instead of `who`.
