OPTIONS

22       -b, --background
23              Run in the background, as a daemon.
24
25
26       -c, --conf=filename
27              Read  configuration  from  filename  instead  of   the   default
28              (/etc/mydns.conf).   Consult mydns.conf(5) for information about
29              configuring mydns.
30
31
32       -d, --debug
33              Output huge amounts of  diagnostic  text  while  running.   This
34              option  is  only  available  if  MyDNS  was  configured with the
35              --enable-debug option.
36
37
38       -D, --database=dbname
39              Use the database called dbname.
40
41
42       -h, --host=hostname
43              Connect to database server at hostname.
44
45
46       -p, --pass=password
47              Supply password when connecting to the database server.  If  the
48              password argument is omitted, it will be prompted on the tty.
49
50
51       -u, --user=username
52              Use username when connecting to the database server.
53
54
55       -v, --verbose
56              Enable verbose output while running.
57
58
59       --create-tables
60              Write  CREATE  TABLE statements suitable for creating the tables
61              used by mydns to the standard output and exit.
62
63
64       --dump-config
65              Read the current configuration (if any).  Dump all possible con‐
66              figuration  options  to the standard output, with current values
67              filled in.  For options not presently configured,  the  internal
68              defaults will be used.  Output is in mydns.conf format, which is
69              handy for creating a mydns.conf template.
70
71
72       --debug-<module>[=<debug-level>
73              Switch on debug for a particular module and set the debug  level
74              if given.
75
76
77       --help Display program help and exit.
78
79
80       --version
81              Output version number and exit.
82
