DESCRIPTION

13       ldns-read-zone  reads  a  DNS zone file and prints it. The output has 1
14       resource record per line, and no pretty-printing makeup.

OPTIONS

18       -0     Print a (null) for the RRSIG inception,  expiry  and  key  data.
19              This option can be used when comparing different signing systems
20              that use the same DNSKEYs for signing but would have a  slightly
21              different timings/jitter.
22
23
24       -b     Include Bubble Babble encoding of DS's.
25
26
27       -c     Canonicalize all resource records in the zone before printing
28
29
30       -d     Only  print  DNSSEC  data from the zone. This option skips every
31              record that is not of type NSEC, NSEC3 or RRSIG. DNSKEY  and  DS
32              records are not printed.
33
34
35       -e RR type
36              Do not print RRs of the given rr type.  This option may be given
37              multiple times.  -e is not meant to be used together with -E.
38
39
40       -E RR type
41              Print only RRs of the given rr type.  This option may  be  given
42              multiple times.  -E is not meant to be used together with -e.
43
44
45       -h     Show usage and exit
46
47
48       -n     Do not print the SOA record
49
50
51       -p     Pad the SOA serial number with spaces so the number and the spa‐
52              ces together take ten characters. This is useful for in file se‐
53              rial number increments.
54
55
56       -s     Strip  DNSSEC data from the zone. This option skips every record
57              that is of type NSEC, NSEC3 or RRSIG. DNSKEY and DS records  are
58              still printed.
59
60
61       -S [[+|0]number | YYYYMMDDxx | unixtime ]
62              Set  serial  number  to  the given number, or when preceded by a
63              sign, offset the existing number with it. When giving  the  lit‐
64              eral  strings YYYYMMDDxx or unixtime, the serial number is tried
65              to be reset in datecounter or in unixtime  format  respectively.
66              Though is the updated serial number is smaller than the original
67              one, the original one is simply increased by one.
68
69              When updating a serial number,  records  of  type  NSEC,  NSEC3,
70              RRSIG and DNSKEY will be skipped when printing the zone.
71
72
73       -u RR type
74              Mark RR type for printing in unknown type format.
75
76              -u is not meant to be used together with -U.
77
78
79       -U RR type
80              Mark RR type for not printing in unknown type format.
81
82              The  first  occurrence  of  the -U option marks all RR types for
83              printing in unknown type format except for the  given  RR  type.
84              Subsequent  -U  options  will  clear the mark for those RR types
85              too, so that only the given RR types will be printed in the pre‐
86              sentation format specific for those RR types.
87
88              -U is not meant to be used together with -u.
89
90
91       -v     Show the version and exit
92
93
94       -z     Sort the zone before printing (this implies -c)
