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)
