ip versus dig/host, does ip provide DNS functionality?
Does the new ip alternative to ifconfig include functionality for DNS lookup like dig or host?
I have looked through the basic command list and do not see DNS-related commands.

"does ip provide DNS functionality?" IP only knows IP addresses. Names are used by applications, not the network stack. DNS is an application-layer protocol. The data-link, network, and transport layers know nothing about names.

No, ip is not a robust DNS tool. All the iproute package does with names, per its man page, is optionally -resolve addresses. (Which the system resolver might not use DNS for.)
