pihole -t

What does a t option do? A quick search of the docs failed to find the answer

[Bucking_Horn]

Just browse through the topic I've linked - it's explained there.

EDIT:
In particular:

The Pi-hole Query Log

You can view the log in real time as it happens using pihole -t . Run this command while you browse to the site that is showing ads. As the page loads up, watch the output in your terminal to track down what domains are being queried.

(quoted directly from that topic)

I still see nothing that explains the -t option.,...

Or man pihole to see the documentation on the Pi-hole itself, or, as Bucking_Horn pointed out:

How do I determine what domain an ad is coming from? - FAQs - Pi-hole Userspace

Or my personal favorite, run pihole -t and see what it does.

Thank You !

That "man" command is useful btw. You can use it for any command in bash.

man cron would do the same for cron, for example. Along with apropos, it's one of the more useful commands.
