NAME

       nsd-patch - NSD zone patcher version 3.2.12.

SYNOPSIS

       nsd-patch [-c configfile] [-f] [-h] [-l] [-o dbfile] [-s] [-x difffile]

DESCRIPTION

       Nsd-patch  is the zone patcher for nsd(8). It reads in the nsd database (nsd.db) and difffile (ixfr.db), and overwrites the zone text files
       if they have been updated. Running this regularly ensures that the difffile does not grow infinitely.

OPTIONS

       -c configfile
	      Read specified configfile instead of the default /etc/nsd3/nsd.conf.

       -f     Forces writing zone files. Also zones that have not changed are written back to their zone files.

       -h     Print usage help information and exit.

       -l     List the journal entries from the difffile. Does not write to zone files.

       -o dbfile
	      Store the output directly to dbfile.

       -s     Skip writing zone files. No zones are written back to their zone files.

       -x difffile
	      Read specified difffile. Overrides the config file setting.

FILES

       /var/lib/nsd3/nsd.db
	      default NSD database

       /etc/nsd3/nsd.conf
	      default NSD configuration file
