NAME
ldns-read-zone - read a zonefile and print it
SYNOPSIS
ldns-read-zone ZONEFILE
DESCRIPTION
ldns-read-zone reads a DNS zone file and prints it. The output has 1 resource record per line, and no pretty-printing makeup.
OPTIONS
-c Canonicalize all resource records in the zone before printing
-d Only print DNSSEC data from the zone. This option skips every record that is not of type NSEC, NSEC3, RRSIG or DNSKEY. DS records
are not printed.
-h Show usage and exit
-n Do not print the SOA record
-s Strip DNSSEC data from the zone. This option skips every record that is of type NSEC, NSEC3, RRSIG or DNSKEY. DS records are still
printed.
-S [[+|0]number | YYYYMMDDxx | unixtime ]
Set serial number to the given number, or when preceded by a sign, offset the exisiting number with it. When giving the literal
strings YYYYMMDDxx or unixtime, the serial number is tried to be reset in datecounter or in unixtime format respectively. Though is
the updated serial number is smaller than the original one, the original one is simply increased by one.
When updating a serial number, records of type NSEC, NSEC3, RRSIG and DNSKEY will be skipped when printing the zone.
-v Show the version and exit
-z Sort the zone before printing (this implies -c)
