SYNOPSIS

9       ldns-read-zone ZONEFILE
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       ldns-read-zone  reads  a  DNS zone file and prints it. The output has 1
14       resource record per line, and no pretty-printing makeup.

16

OPTIONS

18       -c     Canonicalize all resource records in the zone before printing
19
20
21       -d     Only print DNSSEC data from the zone. This  option  skips  every
22              record  that  is  not  of  type NSEC, NSEC3, RRSIG or DNSKEY. DS
23              records are not printed.
24
25
26       -b     Include Bubble Babble encoding of DS's.
27
28
29       -0     Print a (null) for the RRSIG inception,  expiry  and  key  data.
30              This option can be used when comparing different signing systems
31              that use the same DNSKEYs for signing but would have a  slightly
32              different timings/jitter.
33
34
35       -h     Show usage and exit
36
37
38       -n     Do not print the SOA record
39
40
41       -p     Pad the SOA serial number with spaces so the number and the spa‐
42              ces together take ten characters. This is  useful  for  in  file
43              serial number increments.
44
45
46       -s     Strip  DNSSEC data from the zone. This option skips every record
47              that is of type NSEC, NSEC3, RRSIG or  DNSKEY.  DS  records  are
48              still printed.
49
50
51       -S [[+|0]number | YYYYMMDDxx | unixtime ]
52              Set  serial  number  to  the given number, or when preceded by a
53              sign, offset the exisiting number with it. When giving the  lit‐
54              eral  strings YYYYMMDDxx or unixtime, the serial number is tried
55              to be reset in datecounter or in unixtime  format  respectively.
56              Though is the updated serial number is smaller than the original
57              one, the original one is simply increased by one.
58
59              When updating a serial number,  records  of  type  NSEC,  NSEC3,
60              RRSIG and DNSKEY will be skipped when printing the zone.
61
62
63
64       -v     Show the version and exit
65
66
67       -z     Sort the zone before printing (this implies -c)
