Mmark recently became able to create manual pages. This removed the dependency on 'ronn' and just uses mmark (Go program). Re-hookup Makefile.doc to generate the correct header mmark needs to see and regenate them all. Spot checking a few pages suggest they look good and actually better than rendered with ronn, esp. lists in lists. Fixes #2757 Signed-off-by: Miek Gieben <miek@miek.nl>

.SH NAME
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIwhoami\fP - returns your resolver's local IP address, port and transport.
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fIwhoami\fP plugin is not really that useful, but can be used for having a simple (fast) endpoint
|
|
to test clients against. When \fIwhoami\fP returns a response it will have your client's IP address in
|
|
the additional section as either an A or AAAA record.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
The reply always has an empty answer section. The port and transport are included in the additional
|
|
section as a SRV record, transport can be "tcp" or "udp".

.RE

|
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fIwhoami\fP plugin will respond to every A or AAAA query, regardless of the query name.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
If CoreDNS can't find a Corefile on startup this is the \fIdefault\fP plugin that gets loaded. As such
|
|
it can be used to check that CoreDNS is responding to queries. Other than that this plugin is of
|
|
limited use in production.
