DESCRIPTION
     gnunet-namestore can be used to manipulate records in a GNS zone.

     The options are as follows:

     -a | --add
	     Desired operation is adding a record.

     -c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME
	     Use the configuration file FILENAME.

     -d | --delete
	     Desired  operation  is  deleting  records under the given name that
	     match the specified type (-t) and value (-V).  If type or value are
	     not specified, it means that all types (or values)  should  be  as-
	     sumed to match (and possibly multiple or all values under the given
	     label  will  be  deleted).   Specifying  a label (-n) is mandatory.
	     Note that matching by expiration time or flags is	(currently)  not
	     supported.

     -D | --display
	     Desired operation is listing of matching records.

     -e TIME | --expiration=TIME
	     Specifies	expiration  time  of  record  to add; format is relative
	     time, i.e "1 h" or "7 d 30 m".   Supported  units	are  "ms",  "s",
	     "min" or "minutes", "h" (hours), "d" (days) and "a" (years).

     -h | --help
	     Print short help on options.

     -i NICKNAME | --nick=NICKNAME
	     Set  the  desired	NICKNAME for the zone.	The nickname will be in-
	     cluded in all (public) records and used as the suggested  name  for
	     this zone.

     -L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL
	     Use  LOGLEVEL  for  logging.  Valid values are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING
	     and ERROR.

     -m | --monitor
	     Monitor changes to the zone on an ongoing basis (in contrast to -D,
	     which merely displays the current records).

     -n NAME | --name=NAME
	     Label or name of the record to add/delete/display.

     -O | --list-orphans
	     List orphaned records.

     -o | --omit-private
	     Filter private records. Use in combination with --display.

     -P | --purge-orphans
	     Delete orphaned records from namestore.

     -p | --public
	     Create a record that is public (shared with other users  that  know
	     the label).

     -r | --recordline
	     Changes the output format of zones and records to recordline.

     -s | --shadow
	     Create  a	record that is a shadow record.  Shadow records are only
	     used once all other records of the same type under the  same  label
	     have expired.

     -S | --from-stdin
	     Read  recordlines	from stdin until EOF is encountered.  The format
	     uses : A record in a recordline follows the format

	     NAME.EGO:
	      TYPE EXPIRATION [FLAGS] VALUE
	      ...  Multiple records may be provided for a name.

	     EXPIRATION is given in microseconds without a unit (e.g. 3600000000
	     for 3600 seconds).

	     FLAGS is a concatenation of  record  flags.   Possible  values  for
	     flags and their meaning are:

	       p: Public
	       s: Shadow
	       S: Supplemental
	       C: Critical
	       r: Relative expiration

	     TYPE  and	VALUE  are used in the same way as for the "-t" and "-V"
	     options.  Example formats for recordlines can be output  using  the
	     "-D"  flag  combined with "--recordline".	An example record set in
	     recordline format can be found in the examples.  It is possible  to
	     specify multiple record sets.  Can only be used in combination with
	     "-a"  to  add  the  parsed record sets.  Existing record sets under
	     names will be replaced.

     -T | --include-maintenance
	     Show maintenance records such as  TOMBSTONEs.  Use  in  combination
	     with --display.

     -t TYPE | --type=TYPE
	     Type  of  the  record  to	add/delete/display  ("A";  "AAAA"; "NS";
	     "PKEY"; "MX"; etc.).

     -u URI | --uri=URI
	     Add PKEY record from gnunet://gns/-URI to our zone; the record type
	     is always PKEY, if no expiration is given FOREVER is used

     -v | --version
	     Print GNUnet version number.

     -V VALUE | --value=VALUE
	     Value to store or remove from the GNS zone.   Specific  format  de-
	     pends  on	the record type.  A records expect a dotted decimal IPv4
	     address, AAAA records  an	IPv6  address,	PKEY  a  public  key  in
	     GNUnet's printable format, and CNAME and NS records should be a do-
	     main name.

     -X | --purge-zone-records
	     Delete all records in a zone.

     -B | --batch-size
	     Number  of  records  to  buffer and send in a batch to the service.
	     For use with --from-stdin.

     -z EGO | --zone=EGO
	     Specifies the name of the ego controlling the private key	for  the
	     zone.  If not provided, we will attempt to use the default identity
	     set for the "namestore". Alternatively, a private key may be passed
	     in Base32-encoding using the GNUNET_NAMESTORE_EGO_PRIVATE_KEY envi-
	     ronment variable. The latter is useful to	improve  performance  of
	     tools  like Ascension as it allows the command to skip IPC with the
	     identity management subsystem.

     -Z KEY | --zone-to-name=KEY
	     Determine our GNS name for the given public key (reverse lookup  of
	     the KEY) in the given zone.

EXAMPLES
     gnunet-namestore -z example -a -n www -t A -V "1.2.3.4" -e 1d -p

	   Add	a  public  record for ego example with name www containing an IP
	   address.

     gnunet-namestore -z example -D

	   Show all records for ego example.

     gnunet-namestore -z example -D -r

	   Show all records for ego example in recordline format.

     gnunet-namestore --add --from-stdin <<EOF
      www.alice:
       A 3600000000 [pr] 1.2.3.4
       TXT 3600000001 [pr] Hello World

      www.bob:
       A 12345679000000 [pr] 4.3.2.1
      EOF

	   Read record sets in recordline format from stdin.
