NAME¶
ldns-read-zone - read a zonefile and print it
SYNOPSIS¶
ldns-read-zone ZONEFILE
DESCRIPTION¶
ldns-read-zone reads a DNS zone file and prints it. The output has 1
resource record per line, and no pretty-printing makeup.
OPTIONS¶
- -c
- Canonicalize all resource records in the zone before
printing
- -d
- Only print DNSSEC data from the zone. This option skips
every record that is not of type NSEC, NSEC3, RRSIG or DNSKEY. DS records
are not printed.
- -b
- Include Bubble Babble encoding of DS's.
- -0
- Print a (null) for the RRSIG inception, expiry and key
data. This option can be used when comparing different signing systems
that use the same DNSKEYs for signing but would have a slightly different
timings/jitter.
- -h
- Show usage and exit
- -n
- Do not print the SOA record
- -p
- Pad the SOA serial number with spaces so the number and the
spaces together take ten characters. This is useful for in file serial
number increments.
- -s
- Strip DNSSEC data from the zone. This option skips every
record that is of type NSEC, NSEC3, RRSIG or DNSKEY. DS records are still
printed.
- -S [[+|0]number | YYYYMMDDxx | unixtime
]
- Set serial number to the given number, or when
preceded by a sign, offset the exisiting number with it. When giving the
literal strings YYYYMMDDxx or unixtime, the serial number is
tried to be reset in datecounter or in unixtime format respectively.
Though is the updated serial number is smaller than the original one, the
original one is simply increased by one.
When updating a serial number, records of type NSEC, NSEC3, RRSIG and DNSKEY
will be skipped when printing the zone.
- -u RR type
- Mark RR type for printing in unknown type format.
-u is not meant to be used together with -U.
- -U RR type
- Mark RR type for not printing in unknown type
format.
The first occurrence of the -U option marks all RR types for printing
in unknown type format except for the given RR type. Subsequent
-U options will clear the mark for those RR types too, so
that only the given RR types will be printed in the presentation
format specific for those RR types.
-U is not meant to be used together with -u.
- -v
- Show the version and exit
- -z
- Sort the zone before printing (this implies -c)
