22              /var/lib/knot/confdb).  The default configuration  database,  if

46   Signals
47       If the knotd process receives a SIGHUP signal, it reloads its  configu‐
48       ration  and  reopens  the log files, if they are configured. When knotd
49       recieves a SIGUSR1 signal, it reloads all configured  zones.  Upon  re‐
50       ceiving a SIGINT signal, knotd exits.
