# dnstap
*dnstap* enables logging to dnstap, a flexible, structured binary log format for DNS software: http://dnstap.info.
There is a buffer, expect at least 13 requests before the server sends its dnstap messages to the socket.
## Syntax
~~~ txt
dnstap SOCKET [full]
~~~
* **SOCKET** is the socket path supplied to the dnstap command line tool.
* `full` to include the wire-format DNS message.
## Examples
Log information about client requests and responses to */tmp/dnstap.sock*.
~~~ txt
dnstap /tmp/dnstap.sock
~~~
Log information including the wire-format DNS message about client requests and responses to */tmp/dnstap.sock*.
~~~ txt
dnstap /tmp/dnstap.sock full
~~~
## Dnstap command line tool
~~~ sh
go get github.com/dnstap/golang-dnstap
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/dnstap/golang-dnstap/dnstap
go build
