.SH "NAME"
named-journalprint \- print zone journal in human\-readable form
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

\fBnamed\-journalprint\fR {\fIjournal\fR}
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBnamed\-journalprint\fR
prints the contents of a zone journal file in a human\-readable form\&.
.PP
Journal files are automatically created by
\fBnamed\fR
when changes are made to dynamic zones (e\&.g\&., by
\fBnsupdate\fR)\&. They record each addition or deletion of a resource record, in binary format, allowing the changes to be re\-applied to the zone when the server is restarted after a shutdown or crash\&. By default, the name of the journal file is formed by appending the extension
\&.jnl
to the name of the corresponding zone file\&.
.PP
\fBnamed\-journalprint\fR
converts the contents of a given journal file into a human\-readable text format\&. Each line begins with "add" or "del", to indicate whether the record was added or deleted, and continues with the resource record in master\-file format\&.
