NAME

6       ldns-walk - Retrieve the contents of a DNSSEC signed zone
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ldns-walk [ OPTION ] ZONE
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       ldns-walk is used to retrieve the contents of a DNSSEC signed zone.  It
14       does this through NSEC-walking (following the chain  of  NSEC  records)
15       and 'guessing' the next non-existent owner name for each NSEC.
16
17       Note that it might get stuck on some wildcard records when used through
18       a caching forwarder. This problem can be circumvented by  querying  the
19       authoritative nameserver directly (with the @ argument).
20
21       Of course the nameserver that is used must be DNSSEC-aware.

31       -f     Do  a 'full' zone walk; by default, ldns-walk will only show the
32              names, and types present at  those  names.  If  this  option  is
33              given, all resource records will be printed.
34
35
36       -s name
37              Start  the walk with this owner name. Useful when continuing the
38              walk for a large zone.
