ldns-walk(1)		    General Commands Manual		  ldns-walk(1)

NAME
       ldns-walk - Retrieve the	contents of a DNSSEC signed zone

SYNOPSIS
       ldns-walk [ OPTION ] ZONE

DESCRIPTION
       ldns-walk is used to retrieve the contents of a DNSSEC signed zone.  It
       does  this  through  NSEC-walking (following the	chain of NSEC records)
       and 'guessing' the next non-existent owner name for each	NSEC.

       Note that it might get stuck on some wildcard records when used through
       a caching forwarder. This problem can be	circumvented by	 querying  the
       authoritative nameserver	directly (with the @ argument).

       Of course the nameserver	that is	used must be DNSSEC-aware.

OPTIONS
       -4     Use only IPv4.

       -6     Use only IPv6.

       -f     Do  a 'full' zone	walk; by default, ldns-walk will only show the
	      names, and types present at  those  names.  If  this  option  is
	      given, all resource records will be printed.

       -s name
	      Start  the walk with this	owner name. Useful when	continuing the
	      walk for a large zone.

       -v verbosity
	      Verbosity	level [1-5].

       @ nameserver
	      Send the queries to this nameserver.

BUGS
       The full	zone walk function is not complete yet,	it does	not  correctly
       print delegation	records
