NAME

6       nsvi - transfer a zone, edit it, then upload the edits
7

SYNOPSIS

9       nsvi [-01cCdDhvV] [-k keyfile] [-y [hmac:]name:key]
10            [-S mode|num] [-s server] <zone>
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The nsvi program makes an AXFR request for the zone, runs your editor
14       so you can make whatever changes you require, then it runs nsdiff |
15       nsupdate to push those changes to the server.
16
17       Automatically-maintained DNSSEC records are stripped from the zone
18       before it is passed to your editor, and you do not need to manually
19       adjust the SOA serial number.
20

OPTIONS

22       Most nsvi options are passed to nsdiff and some to nsupdate.

27
28       -v  Verbose mode.
29
30       -n  Interactive confirmation.
31
32           When you quit the editor, you will be shown the changes, then asked
33           whether to make the update (press U or Y), edit again (press E or
34           R), or quit (press another key).

41       -s server[#port]
42           Transfer the zone from the server given in this option, and send

44           host name or IP address, optionally followed by a "#" and the port
45           number.
46
47           If you do not use the -s option, the zone will be transferred from
48           localhost, and nsvi will use nsupdate -l to update the zone.
