NAME

6       getzone - get dns zone from server
7

DESCRIPTION

9       getzone transfers a user-specified dns zone from a zone server and
10       displays it in csv1 format on the standard output. This program is here
11       for compatibility with older setups that use getzone to get zone files;
12       newer setups may wish to consider using the fetchzone tool to obtain
13       csv2-compatible zone files.
