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 -0 Print a (null) for the RRSIG inception, expiry and key data. This option can be used when comparing different signing systems that use the same DNSKEYs for signing but would have a slightly different timings/jitter.

-b Include Bubble Babble encoding of DS's.

-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 or RRSIG. DNSKEY and DS records are not printed.

-e RR type Do not print RRs of the given rr type. This option may be given multiple times. -e is not meant to be used together with -E.

-E RR type Print only RRs of the given rr type. This option may be given multiple times. -E is not meant to be used together with -e.

-h Show usage and exit

-n Do not print the SOA record

-p Pad the SOA serial number with spaces so the number and the spaces together take ten characters. This is useful for in file serial number increments.

-s Strip DNSSEC data from the zone. This option skips every record that is of type NSEC, NSEC3 or RRSIG. DNSKEY and DS records are still printed.

-S [[+|0]number | YYYYMMDDxx | unixtime ]
When updating a serial number, records of type NSEC, NSEC3, RRSIG and DNSKEY will be skipped when printing the zone.

-u RR type Mark RR type for printing in unknown type format.
-u is not meant to be used together with -U.

-U RR type Mark RR type for not printing in unknown type format.
The first occurrence of the -U option marks all RR types for printing in unknown type format except for the given RR type. Subsequent -U options will clear the mark for those RR types too, so that only the given RR types will be printed in the presentation format specific for those RR types.
-U is not meant to be used together with -u.

-v Show the version and exit

-z Sort the zone before printing (this implies -c)
